    Hello experts

    My son has a Acer aspire 5315 which is still under manufacturers warranty. Its been performing badly for a while....VERY slow and unresponsive. Called BT support line which I subscribe to and after running some tests over the phone they think its an error in the memory. I thought we had made recovery discs but cannot find them anywhere desite a comprehensive search. I have been quoted £48 from Acer for some new ones. Second problem, my son (he is only 13) can't remember the password for the recovery mnagement. Again, Acer quoting £48 to reset. Is there anything else I can do without spending £48? I have insurance from PC world where he bought it from, currently costing £8 per month.

    Thank you all so much

    I'm sorry, but NBR does not allow discussion on how to bypass passwords.
