BIOS Password US

[redgey]

I have an Acer TravelMate 2700. It has some how aquired a password to the BIOS.

Any sujjestions please. Cannot find how to get to the RTC battery, or jumpers (if any). Have downloaded a service manual, that did not give info on how to get the top part of the case off to get at the Battery.

Hi Redgey,

At the moment the best I can do is ask you to have a look here-

Laptop Repair Help

 

You may find some help there in gaining access to the battery.

Sorry to have to tell you, but laptop BIOS passwords in general cannot be removed in the same way as those on a tower system.

 

Removing the battery (if possible) won't help, nor will looking for a pair of CMOS reset pins.

 

On a large number of laptops, especially newer ones the password is saved in a specific chip. Swapping the chip or getting back to Acer is normally the only way.

OK. Thanks to bothe replys.
