how to reset a bios password on Aspire 5570Z? I deleted mine while trying to change it
I'm gifting my Aspire 5570Z to my neighbor and wanted to delete the bios password. I went into bios and deleted the password and pressed enter for new password and confirm. Now I'm locked out. Please help!!

I want to thank all of the community for the help! I was able to reset the password is by disconnecting the CMOS battery for an hour then without replacing the HD or the battery and reattached the AC adapter. Then I booted the machine past POST. I unplugged the AC and reassembled the machine. It now boots without the bios password. I hope that this will help someone who has the same problem. Thanks again everyone!

Try the old password in case you forgot to exit and save the new bios settings.

"by disconnecting the CMOS battery for an hour then without replacing the HD or the battery" Hi, what do you mean by "withoput replacing the HD" Did you disconnect the hard drive too?
