How to Clear/Remove Acer Bios Password

[@Nova_luvs_yu]

I tried for everything in the world wide web to remove the bios password of this acer netbook, with no success, but then i found this video.With the first method it only took less than 10 min! Thank you soo much! Liked and subscribed

[@edmundlee6307]

The first method worked flawlessly for me, on my vintage travelmate C100. Saved me from opening it up to reset the bios. Thank you so much.

[@tomobobo]

Thanks for this, the tutorial on the clear password utility was clutch. I had an acer aspire 5552 without boot device options, but noticed if you take out the HDD, it boots from usb! The utility worked, and I have access to the bios. So anyone who doesn't have usb boot options, try removing the hdd, maybe you'll get lucky like me.

[@trebs241]

are you sure it is safe to remove HDD for the sake of no bootable device problem? it doesn't work anyways

[@DominikWalta]

Thanks, saved me 20$. If you cannot select bootable device by pressing F12, just unplug HDD, then it will boot from flash.

[@breezefps]

i tried and still not knowing the usb flash drive :/

[@balazsakosberes5340]

@@breezefps You might have an EFI system which is unfortunately a bad thing for you.

[@stzibe]

I spent a whole day on this until I saw your tip. Thanks a lot.

[@psivius]

Excellent vid. Based on the positive feedback in the comments regarding the first method I'd like to add a tip. In order to boot from the flash you have to select the flash drive from the boot menu at startup. On some laptops it may ask for a password at this point as well. All is not lost. In order to force the system to boot from the flash, simply disconnect your internal hard drive first (make sure your laptop is powered down before disconnecting the hard drive), then boot with the flash drive plugged in. It should then boot from the flash and you can follow on with the tutorial. Also the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool may not work in Windows 10 for some flash drives. You can try another flash drive or do the format process on an older version of Windows for example: Windows XP.

[@safwanazhari7444]

thanks you so much brother ...step 1 really work for me ...other step not working ...unplug hard drive from laptop and place your USB ...sure working for who can't to boot device

[@mehmetcoban2886]

tnx man, the clnpwd program did the job. Removing battery did not work. And good vid, easy to follow toturial and fast, certainly appreciated.

[@mrforeveryour113]

you are great. I have seen too many videos about password through software but nothing work. your method work. Thanks you so much.

[@breddy94]

Thank's, it worked on acer 5742G : I linked together every pin I found behind the ram with my screwdriver and no more bios password !!

[@vicaloo78]

[@MRSUJAY-cj3qe]

This is password

[@ruddyxmax]

If you cannot format the USB because it says write protected and tried everything: this worked for me: Step1 - type 'list disk' Step2 - type 'select disk *' (* you may need to replace * with the drive letter of your media) Step3 - type "convert mbr" If it throws an error say unconvertable etc, type clean , then repeat Step 3

Bro I can't believe it, THANK you, it worked perfectly, I thought I'd never get my laptop to work again

[@markuspfister405]

Thanks a lot. Did the reset right now on my old acer aspire one (all my 'usual' passwords didn't work...). I used the software-version - straightforward. Really helpful, thanks again.

[@eduardovicentin7567]

Thanks for the tip! Only with your video I was able to remove the password from an Acer 5733 notebook. I used the jumper next to the RAM memory. I had tried numerous software installed by Windows, without success.

[@cengiz5741g]

I did the same thing and my screen doesn't work anymore.

[@Turnseppel]

Every time I trie to format the flash disk and create a DOS startup disk, I get an error: Device Media is write-protected. The flashdrive is for sure not write-protected. What's wrong with this? May you can give an advice?

[@jymbles26]

Use Rufus to install FreeDOS instead, and just install it that way.

[@IronieLiestDuNie]

Copy the folder to the desktop and rename it by just deleting some of the letters. Done.

[@DukeOfMarshall]

@@IronieLiestDuNie Thanks! That worked perfectly to resolve the issue for me.

[@cycleoflearning881]

search cmd -> write "List Disk". Then see which disk number is the disk you want to format and fix it. if number 1 is your usb disk: then just write "SELECT DISK 1" write "CLEAN" then write "Convert GPT" Then write "Convert MBR" Now try again it should work.

[@AmineBarbouch]

@@cycleoflearning881 Thanks, I did these steps as well as renaming my folder simply "MS" on my desktop. And it worked

[@iamthebossof]

thanks bro..option one worked perfect..for those who cant choose boot options..just unplug your harddrive and computer will boot from flashdrive automatically

[@danzhacker]

THIS IS THE MOST HELPFUL VIDEO IN HISTORY!!!

[@voornaam3191]

No! It only works for CERTAIN Acers. And yes, then you can cheer. But sometimes the previous owner blocked booting from usb and cd. Thank God modern boot methods escape this blocking, so I can install Windows 10 or the newest Linux Mint. But installing a second operating system turns into a nightmare. Do you see? Never forget your password for a modern Acer. Nice laptops, why not, but the combination of a forgotten password and restrictions on bootable devices, well, you should think twice about the risks.

[@arenaking5901]

Thank you brother, I have successfully remove BIOS password from my Acer laptop by using Software.

[@d1bobbyg]

Thanks mate, you're an absolute legend! Removed my long forgotten password easily!! Definitely not thanks to Acer who won't help, or Microsoft, which won't let me use my Acer Empowering Tech anymore!

[@VinayKumar-lf1xu]

Hey, how did u do that.. I cant boot using pendrive

[@d1bobbyg]

Hello Vinay, I just created a windows bootable usb, downloaded the file provided in the link and put that also on the usb, then used the command just as described in the video. Also, make sure you hold F2 key pressed while turning laptop on. Then you should be asked where do you want to boot from and choose USB.

[@nathanfuzz6514]

first method worked for me, thank you . i needed to first clear write protection of the USB Press "Win + R" > Type: cmd and hit Enter to open "Command Prompt". 2. Type: "diskpart" without quotes and hit Enter to open diskpart. 3. Type: "list disk" (again no quotes) and hit Enter. Remember the disk number of your write protected USB, SD or hard drive in Windows PC. 4. Type: "select disk (whatever number your disk is)" without the quotes ( the number of your write protected USB/SD/hard drive) and hit Enter. 5. Type: "attributes disk clear readonly" without quotes and hit Enter to disable write protection on the storage device. 6. Close the diskpart window once the write protection removing process is finished. acer travelamate 8571 @Wyatt k thank you for helping me with this

[@joshviles4970]

Will this work on other models like the hp utility will? I removed the battery and the password setting kicked in on my backup Samsung ultra book series 5 I bought for parts. One of them ended up locked because the hardware recognized change in hardware. It didn't have the hdd the previous owner had in place. So naturally I was unable to to succeed. It's been a while since I have messed with it I know that there are pins and I know that you can move them on some models. But this laptop it almost appears there are solder pads with a raised surface next to each other I'm not sure if I'm on the wrong side of the board but I don't remember the other side having a set of pins there but it's been too long to say for sure I struggled with it then and recently received the screen to make it more complete and would like to accomplish the reset for the password. Everything specific to Samsung that I watched has been vague

[@myboynicki]

I must be missing something but the zip file doesn't seem to have the clnpwd.exe file. Got the USB to boot into Win98 DOS, but the executable isn't there. Could it be that it was forgotten or taken out for some reason. I have a Acer TravelMate 2410 that was gifted to me by a friend and I went into the set up and of course failed it. Does anyone have a copy of the executable around? Both the RTC battery and the switch for the jumper are on the top side of the motherboard which means you have to disassemble the unit to get to the RTC or the switch. On my motherboard got a 4 switch block which shows Switch 1 as to clear the password. Was hoping to do this without taking it apart. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Rich - Orlando, FL
