    I just aquired an aspire 3620 model.
    Hard drive was wiped clean.
    Bios has been password protected.
    I don't know it, can't enter the bios to change boot sequence.
    Found a bios update on Acer web site.
    Appears it applies to XP, as Vista and Windows 7 are red X'd.
    I believe a bios update will correct the unknown password problem,
    but am concerned I may not be able to install windows 7 after updating.
    Can anyone advise me, please.

    Thanks
