Hello everyone,

 

I forgot my bios password from my v5-551. There is no 

access possible to the F keys except F2. Besides that i

also have no Access to windows or Linux. When i don't

press anything the screen will stay on the acer logo.

I already know the bios password is stored in EEPROM, 

so removing the battery wil not work. Yesterday i found

a service manual for the v5-571there is some very usefull

information in here, but my device is to different from this

571. Does any one have a v5-551 service manual or know the same steps 

for my mainboard. Thanks for all your help! 

 

Grz,

    It is necessary to disassemble the laptop and remove the battery from the motherboard. I pulled out the battery for 30 minutes. Then insert the battery back and collect the laptop. You have access to the BIOS again.
