Hi, I have a slight problem
I set the password on my acer aspire 5315, but don't know how to get back in. Here's the catch, I remember the password, but not the user name, i believe...duh me...help!

What AntiZig suggested is for the BIOS... You are trying to gain access to Windows, a whole different process..

Download the Vista version of the program I listed in the link. After downloading it use an ISO burner ( http/www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download if you don't already have one) and burn the file to a CD/DVD.
After burning the file to the CD. Watch this to understand how to use it: http/www.youtube.com/watch?v=IN9n-YeI0y4


Now you can try it for yourself.

P.S. Don't worry about using the Windows Vista version with Windows 7, they're compatible.
