    Hi,

    I have an Acer CL51 which was previously my old companies laptop and they have now gone defunct. The problem i have is that the previous System Admin locked down the laptop and it now requires a password when logging into Windows that of which i do not know.

    Would anyone here know how to beat this other than knowing the password (ie like a password hack) or with this particular model, can i unscrew the bottom of the laptop and remove the battery used for the bios time etc?

    Google is your friend

    Knowledge is power

    Power without knowledge is foolishness

    Chew on that one for awhile and get back to me on your "password issues"
