hdd master pw bios

annajn

Hi,
I am having problems with my bios Phoenix in Acer Aspire 7110 I bought in 2007. I contacted acer before online and by phone , without any result though.

Online forums wont help because of the sensitive implicationsm which I can understand. So you are pretty much my last resort to solve this.
The thing is, I had set all the pw in the security window in the biosmbut then changed everything and cleared them all. I thought all was well untill I started it up again and I was asked for a’ Primary master user password’ which I had no idea about. The pw I just had cleared -they were all the same- didnt work either.

I have been looking for a solution on the web but without any result. The best answerI got somewhere was to open the motherboard and then switch the cmos battery and or jumper, but I dread anything drastic like that- I just fear I will mess things up. How should I proceed? Can you help?

I contacted Tosieba, but they send me right back to you.

with kind regards
