How do I remove the power on password or factory reset my Aspire R3
My son set the power on password of his new Acer Aspire R3 N15W5 and he can't remember it. I made him try about 500 times since it doesn't do a permanent lockout like some Lenovo secure laptops.
I finally tried the factory reset pinhole at the bottom after giving just about every other solution I found a try from taking it apart to remove the CMOS battery, to using a program that is supposed to calculate the unlock code for the computer based on the "Enter Unlock Password (Key 524715000)" prompt that I get each time after 3 unsuccessful tries to enter it.
Other than sending it to Acer at a fee, even though it is under warranty, (because they say that is not covered) i there a simple way to get the unlock code or somewhere i can short or move a jumper to reset his Laptop...
