    Hi, I just discovered you can password the computer before the laptop starts great, how do i do this thought o_O, anyways. WHat happens if i forget the bios password, people say if you do there is backdoor passwords from acer themselves...if so were can i find them..im to nervous to set that password cause im scared of screwing up my pc, like i have an password on my acc but if i forget it my mom can go on hers and unlock mine...
    im on an acer aspire 6920g. so if you know any backdoor acer passwords please let me know unless im not allowed to ask?
    thanks.

    You're not allowed to ask. You have to call Acer in that situation.

    You can always use a face recognition program to login for you. that way, you can have strong password and at the same time won't forget your password.

    veriface from lenovo works on acer laptop.
