Click Start-->Run: type CMD hit Enter on your keyboard. 
b. now us the CD command of Dos to come to d:\cmos\windows. (here is: d: hit enter; cd cmos hit enter; cd windows hit enter).
c. when you are already in d:\cmos\windows in drive D then: type “ioperm.exe –i” hit enter.
d. to start ioperm service: type “net start ioperm” hit enter.
e. ok, type: “Cmospwd_win.exe /k” hit enter, we will see:

1 - Kill cmos
2 - Kill cmos (try to keep date and time)
0 - Abort
Choice :

f. run the Acer eSettings Management program: start-->program-->Acer Empower Technology-->Acer eSettings Management.

If you reference page 49 and 50 of the Acer Aspire 4715z Service Manual, it explains. You have to use the get at the motherboard and "short" a jumper setting to clear the bios password. It explains there. If you do not want to do that(and most people do not), then you can go to Acer's website and look for a bios update utility. You can flash your bios to same or upgraded version and that should also clear your password.
