Resetting the BIOS password on an Acer laptop is a fairly simple process. You will first need to locate the CMOS battery on your laptop, which is typically located directly behind the RAM access panel. With the power unplugged, remove the battery and wait for at least 30 minutes before reinstalling it and plugging the laptop back in. This should cause the BIOS to reset and clear any existing passwords. However, if you are still having difficulties, you may want to refer to your laptop's manual or contact the manufacturer for further assistance.
