Can I reset the BIOS password on my Aspire S3-391-6448 MS2346?

nandu2u2

I have tried leaving the CMOS battery and normal battery unplugged for about 30 minutes and the password is still there. When I try to boot or restore I just get a loop boot. I have tried booting MHDD from a USB stick but it won't see the stick. I'm going to try hooking up an external cd drive and see if I can boot from that.

Hi nandu2u2u

 

This information comes from Acer Community Expert Vince53:

 

It is usually impossible to get into a computer that has a lost BIOS password.

 

SOMETIMES, this method works.  Reboot your laptop, and when prompted for a password, guess three times. A screen will appear telling you that your system is disabled, and it will give you a code. Write down the code and go to http://bios-pw.com/ . This site will give you a BIOS password that MIGHT work. Reboot and enter the new password.

 

Many thanks Vince53 - I hope you don't mind me passing on this gem of information!

Hi realityhurts!

 

You can try by removing the CMOS battery, however it means taking your laptop apart to get at the mobo. Leave the battery removed for at least an hour. This should remove the settings held in BIOS.

 

If this is not something you're comfortable with, then I suggest taking it to a reputable PC store who should be able to help.
