HowTo reset the Acer Aspire one BIOS Password
Use the utility unetbootin-windows-299.exe (http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/unetbootin-windows-latest.exe) to make a FreeDOS bootable USB pendrive, I used a FAT32 Formatted 2gb Sandisk Cruzer
see http://macles.blogspot.com/2008/07/flashing-bios.html for more info
Copy the KILLCMOS.COM (http://www.majorgeeks.com/download2969.html) file to the root of the pendrive – IT IS NOT A VIRUS EVEN IF YOUR SCANNER SAYS IT IS.
plug in the pendrive
power on the acer
press f12 and choose to boot from the USB pendrive, choose option 5
type c:
type KILLCMOS – there will be a beep and the machine will reboot
press f2 to enter the BIOS
killcmos just clears stored settings, basically it resets the bios to be clear
