All solutions point to having to contact the drive manufacturer or laptop manufacturer. There is good explanation in the Tom's Hardware thread at the end, about a 'master password' ...

What OS are you using?

LOL, you're out of luck. If you're smart enough to set the hard disk password, you should be smart enough to remember it. 99% of the computers that have a password lock on the hard drive are stolen computers. The original owner put the lock on to keep thieves from getting to sensitive data. The owner could have set the password remotely once the computer is stolen.

The computer is useless to you. The only way the password can be broken is if the original owner who put it on, takes it off? Even if you take the hard drive out of the computer, it can never be used again as long as it has a password lock on it.

If you changed the bios battery, or removed the hard drive, the machine will lock you out as it thinks it has been stolen. You will need to contact Acer to get this unlocked

I think you should try to remove your motherboard battery. After removing the battery you will be able to access your computer. Please try this.

There is a jumper in HDD and CDrom

• Set the hard disk jumper to Master Connect the drive using the Master connector on the primary IDE cable.
• Set the CDD jumper to Slave Connect the drive using the Slave connector on the primary IDE cable.

It's a bit pricey, but if your data is important, it's worth every penny.

Hope this helps!
