The Hard Drive Password is not an easy thing to remove. Most times it is set to keep thieves from getting to sensitive data. Get online
and got to www.google.com In the google search box type: "Acer
Support" (without the quotes and put your manufacturer name before Support).
Look for downloads and drivers. Enter your model number and operating
system when requested. Look for manuals and search them for Password or Hard Drive Password.
Check your user manual and see what it says to do.
