Forgot the BIOS password for your Acer laptop? Sometimes we need to access the BIOS to make some hardware changes to the computer but the BIOS is protected and secured by some password. Resetting login password for Acer is easily but when turns to the BIOS password, most users feel helpless. In this article, I will introduce the tops 3 ways to reset BIOS password for Acer laptops including Aspire, VivoBook, Zenbook,etc.

So how often you will set bios password and forget it and after while you are trying to access your laptops bios and don't remember password... well... that never happened to me and don't believe there's to many people like that around:). Its actually funny when you read.. that my kids managed to install bios password and now i cant access laptop... maybe!!! NOOOT!!!
Most of my laptops are coming from offices so they will have bios passwords installed by the system admins so users could not mess up some important settings so no Mickey Mouse PS.. but whatever your reasons are to unlock Acer bios password here is very simple tutorial how to do it and if for some reason it doesn't work then don't blame me since it is free service and no warranty given :)
Ok let start - turn on your Acer laptop and immediately start pressing F2 button on your keyboard, F2 button is used to access bios so now you should see "Enter Current Password" - enter wrong password 3 times and you should see "Enter Unlock Password", now press enter and you should see your Unlock Key... take a note of that key and go to BiOSBUG.com, enter that key into search field and press "Send Request" button and few seconds later you should get your Acer bios unlock key.
Now take a note of that key and go back to your laptop and enter that into "Enter Unlock Password" box and if successful you should be in bios, now in bios go to security tab and press enter on Set Supervisor Password and little box with 3 password fields should pop up, enter your unlock key from BiOSBUG.com into first field which is current password field and leave new password field and confirm field blank just hit enter 2 times. Now navigate Exit tab and press on Exit Saving Changes and that's it.. your laptop should have no bios password anymore and you should be able to boot to Windows OS or whatever you have installed.
If you can still load the operating system, you can reset the password with Acer eSettings Management (Acer eSettings Management --> Click BIOS Passwords near the footer of the screen --> Use Create Password or Remove Password option).
try restarting the computer in safe mode or try login bios menu using F2 and reset the bios if you have any other issue in computer that can be fixed doing the normal reset . try this post how to reset the computer password and settings see if that works for you .

There is no default bios password set by Acer or by any manufacturers of PCs to their bios, Acer does not set any bios passwords to any of their PCs, as this is all done by a user. Its very unusual that you have experienced this out of nowhere. Definitely contact Acer support and ask for their solution(s), but there are other external solutions that you can look up in regard to this problem that may work? That's as far as I can help you out, as you need to consult Acer and ask them if they cover this under the Acer warranty, also please let the community know the result of this problem and if it was solved, as it will be very helpful to other users, thanks.
The thing that you have to be aware of and realise is this, that passwords and especially bios passwords bios issues and/or anything to do in regard to hacking advice of anything to do to a PC is not permitted on this forum or is it ethical for a forum like this to allow! This is for security reasons foremostly, and of course bios issues and what happens with inexperienced users, that this mix, don't go too well together.? as inexperience users doing anything in regard to reflashing, resetting and/or reprograming a bios can destroy, corrupt a laptop and make it unusable with great costs to a user, hence and why there are these forum rules.
There is no set default bios password, try to do a hard reset of the laptop, take the main and bios batteries out leave them disconnected for 5min and reconnect them both and reboot the laptop. Sorry as this is all the advice that we can give you in regard to any bios or password issues on this forum, as any detailed advice is forbidden by the rules.
Taking the main battery and the RTC/BIOS batteries out does nOT damage your laptop it resets the Startup IO chip and the BIOS chip, we would not suggest anything that will damage anything on your laptop, that is why advising you to hack a BIOS password is NOT allowed on this forum as that can damage your laptops BIOS chip which will entail a BIOS chip replacement or reprogramming. So don't worry a Hard Reset is very safe as lonng as you wear an anti static wrist band and open your laptop carefully with a prying plastic tool and as recommended by Acer like below:
I know all this but, I can't give you this info, because of the reasons I've given you above. Its good that you have found this out and this post is a reference for other users, as these bios passwords don't get generated automatically and lock your laptop up.
