Hello, Joseph.

There is a hidden Administrator account that is created when your operating system is installed. Access that account and then reset your password.

1. Boot your computer and press F8 repeatedly
2. Access Safe Mode
3. Key in "Administrator" in Username, with no password.
4. Go to Control Panel, then User Accounts
5. Select the account you want to reset the password
6. Change the password

Hope this helps

Acer aspire 5536 forgotten the HDD user password

Assuming that after you enter the wrong three times it should generate a lockout error. At this time you can follow these steps to unlock the system:


http://pcmediks.blogspot.com/2010/11/how-to-remove-hdd-user-password-in-acer.html



Basically, once you unlock it, you should be able to boot into the BIOS and disable the HDD password. I'd say to do that first but you would need the password once you were in the BIOS to be able to disable it thus the recommendation to essentially set it to something you know first via the guide above.

I don't know how to turn up the volume without going to the volume near the time in the bottom right corner of the screen?? Can someone please help me

Acer Aspire 4315

This unit has no touch button volume control.

A touch button volume control is a feature most users fail to ask about before purchasing.

Acer removed the touch button volume control feature for power users who do not require a touch button volume control.

Consider yourself as of the elite power users of the world and a proud owner of the Acer Aspire 4315
