    Sorry, NBR does not allow the discussion of bypassing security measures (like passwords) for any reason.

    That said, I have never encountered a password set by the manufacturer as such, unless it is a password set by a school or business or previous owner. Is there anyone else in your household who may have had access to this laptop who may know the password?

    If it's a BIOS password, the manufacturer (Acer support) should be able to assist you. Good luck.
