A HDD password is a BIOS level password and has nothing to do with the default settings of Windows. If the default settings of the BIOS were enabled, it would not remove or create a HDD password.
While this video is how to create a password, hopefully it will help you familiarize yourself with the BIOS password creation/removal area. http://acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2
Also, Brad posted an article on the different types of passwords and how Acer can help. http://community.acer.com/t5/Community-KB/Understa
