I have an acer laptop w/ windows xp pro that has a bios password and aendministrator password that I have forgotten. I have tried removing the battery but it has not worked.2 people need an answerI do too

it is highly doubtful that the owner forgot his/her password. in fact, the owner took the additional measure of inputting a bios password as an attempt to keep out unauthorized or illegal access to the machine.therefore the possibility exists that you provided assistance to a laptop thief. and laptop theft's are on the rise. perhaps, you havne't seen the news lately. db`...>-)))> `...>-)))> share the nirvana mann
