Question about Acer TravelMate 2201LCi Notebook
Are you talking about the bios password thats the one at the first instance. If you cant get in the only way is to remove the battery inside for an hour or so it resets and allows you back into the setup again?

first make sure the caps lock if off/on whatever applies the password when you typed it in
Remove a small coin sized CMOS battery to store all BIOS settings along with the password. To reset the password, unplug the PC, open the cabinet and remove the CMOS battery for approx. 15-30 minutes and then put it back. It'll reset all BIOS settings
as well as the password and you'll need to re-enter all settings.
Under the keyboard or bottom of laptop - If you are working on a laptop computerthe location of the dipswitch (almost never a jumper) can be under the keyboard or on the bottom of the laptop in a compartment such as the memory compartment.
If it fails, then try to remove the battery for at least one hour.
