| 288068 | 2004-11-05 03:19:00 | What happens if you remove the hard disk? | Graham L (2) | ||
| 288069 | 2004-11-05 03:23:00 | ive found "format c" to be particulary useful in situations such as yours | Pete O'Neil (250) | ||
| 288070 | 2004-11-05 03:27:00 | You "rebooted" after setting the passwords. Try POWER OFF and restart. :D A real cold start might help. Might not, of course. :D | Graham L (2) | ||
| 288071 | 2004-11-05 03:33:00 | >ive found "format c" That'd be great if I had access to Floppy, or CDROM but I don't till I have a password. I might have to buy another drive as suggested somewhere I read. But surely that won't work as the Hard Drive password is set in the BIOS & wouldn't matter what drive I had in it |

| 288072 | 2004-11-05 03:48:00 | Do you reckon hooking it up to another machine as slave & formatting will remove the password | 45South (4769) | ||
| 288073 | 2004-11-05 03:49:00 | Nope | Rob99 (151) | ||
| 288074 | 2004-11-05 22:18:00 | Contact Acer support on 0800 223769 (have your serial number handy) hopefully they can assist. | Mzee (158) | ||
| 288075 | 2004-11-06 02:39:00 | Thanks Mzee, already done that & someone was going to get back to me Still waiting.... But in the meantime SUCCESS!! One of the family members remembered helping him type in a pwd on one of his bad days & voila I'm in. Thanks to all. |
