    I have an Acer Aspire 5315. I picked up at a pawn shop at a deal but the problem I am having is it needs a password on bootup. I take it, that someone password protected the Bios. My question is How do I get past this? Any help please , and thank you in advance for any.

    No way to By-Pass that password....It'll be stuck that way unless you enter the correct password.

    I'm afraid any discussion related to the bypassing of any security measures is strictly against forum rules. Thread closed.
