Chosen Solution

I want to enter my Acer travelmate 240 bios, but i forget the password.

On the newer laptops I’ve serviced there is no BIOS reset and pulling the CMOS battery does nothing. I’ve seen some with what looks similar to solder pads labeled as CMOS reset, but they won’t work in most cases. My suggestion, try the password three times, and a dialog box should pop up with a code. Punch in the code to unlock the bios here… http://bios-pw.org/ This has worked on every laptop that I’ve serviced, even new models. However, if a drive is protected at a bios level, for security, you cannot unlock the drive (this is put into place in case the drive is stolen).

try restarting the computer in safe mode or try login bios menu using F2 and reset the bios if you have any other issue in computer that can be fixed doing the normal reset . try this post how to reset the computer password and settings see if that works for you .

When it is required, if you know your BIOS password it can be removed by following the steps below. Removing a BIOS password: Power on the system. As soon as the first logo screen appears, immediately press the F2 key, or the DEL key if you have a desktop, to enter the BIOS. Use the arrow keys to navigate to Security or BIOS Security Features. Highlight Set Supervisor Password or Change Supervisor Password and press the ENTER key. You will be prompted to enter your current password. After you will be prompted to enter a new password, and a second time to verify it. To remove the password, leave these two fields blank and press Enter. Press ENTER to confirm password creation. A message will appear stating Changes have been saved. Press ENTER to continue. Press the F10 key to save changes and restart the system.

This is the only 100% working solution: hashes and all childish stuff described in here and everywhere do not work for Acer W510/511. Their BIOSes completely locked by Acer. There is no battery (eprom), no hashes - nothing to do as you could do usually in such case. Thats because of Acer do really intended to charge you with 100 bucks for solution of these stupid problem. But, fortunately there is existing much more better alternative, please follow these link. All you need is a flash drive formatted as FAT32 and 20 bucks. Good luck!
