Hello I'm trying to unlock an Acer Aspire one ZG5 and no matter what I do it keeps asking for "Enter CURRENT Password:?"

 

I've tried resetting it with recovery,F12,F2 doesn't matter I keep coming back to that **bleep** screen I'm *this* close to maybe finding the BIOS battery and yanking it out to see if I can erase this thing's tiny little mind.

 

Or telling my friend he needs to take it to a shop.

 

Any options I'm not seeing?

    Is the F-12 boot menu enabled on the Aspire one?

    You could enable it to boot from a usb in Fn+F-12?

    I sent you a PM.
