I have an Acer aspire all in one z3-605 PC and am locked out of being able to get in to BIOS. My kid changed and forgot her windows password and i cannot find my recovery disk... need to factory reset!! Help?

A factory reset will not clear a BIOS password. We can't help you with it either - against the rules.

Hi,

There's actually another way to reset your PC back to factory without a recovery disc.

Here's the complete tutorial on how to:

My daughter told me what she did. When starting up the computer she hit f10 and it took her in to the system. From there she 'may have' hit disable on a couple buttons. One being the boot option. That js why I cannot got f10 to work. Nor ESC or DEL. Is there some why to undo what she has done or am I SOL?

Also Tman, I have gotten it as far as letting me type in the admin password and when I do, no matter what I press (enter or arrow) it just takes me to the windows log in screen.l
