Guide to remove BIOS password of Acer computer (Both Laptop & Desktop).


BIOS password remove alternatives:

1. Reset Password BIOS via Backdoor BIOS Password.
2. Reset Password BIOS via Software.
3. Reset Password BIOS via hardware.
4. Reset Password BIOS via default manufacturers.


OK, here is my guide to Remove Acer Bios password computer via Software. This has been done on testing machine Laptop Acer Aspire 3620/ Travel Mate 2420. Anyway, I'm not sure it will work on every Acer PC/Laptop so just consider to do at your own risk, I�m not responsible for any damages caused by this guide.

As we know most of Acer computer (Laptop & Desktop) allow us to setup BIOS in Microsoft Windows (9x/XP/Vista) environment. Great, this is the powerful that help us to remove the BIOS password cuz all we know if we enter Setup Utility at the boot time we have only three times of filling the password and if all wrong then the system will halt.

The program helps us to enter Acer BIOS setup in Microsoft Windows is �Acer eSettings Management� which comes with the CD when we buy Acer PC/Laptop. If you lost the CD then just come to Acer website to download the program.

Before you can install �Acer eSettings Management� you have to install program called: �Acer Empowering Technology� so you�d better to download both of them from Acer website and install & restart your computer to be ready for the job. Here is the link of Acer website, just come there and sellect right series/model of your computer to download these programs:

ftp://ftp.support.acer-euro.com

or

ftp://ftp.work.acer-euro.com

Another one program is also very important we will need called: �CmosPwd� - CmosPwd is a cmos/bios password recovery tool. CmosPwd is under GNU Public License. You can freely distribute it. It can be compiled under Dos, Windows, Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD.

Download it here:

http://www.cgsecurity.org/cmospwd-5.0.zip

Guide to install CmosPwd and remove password:

1. Download & extract to a folder. I put it in drive D like this: d:\ cmos
2. To work on cmos memory, ioperm need to be installed and running. ioperm gives direct port I/O access for specified ports to user-mode process (ring 3) using Ke386SetIoAccessMap and Ke386IoSetAccessProcess kernel functions.

Log on to Windows as Administrator priviledges and do as follow: (see picture):

a. 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 :

Type 1 and hit Enter to clear cmos.



Works with the following BIOS also:

* ACER/IBM BIOS
* AMI BIOS
* AMI WinBIOS 2.5
* Award 4.5x/4.6x/6.0
* Compaq (1992)
* Compaq (New version)
* IBM (PS/2, Activa, Thinkpad)
* Packard Bell
* Phoenix 1.00.09.AC0 (1994), a486 1.03, 1.04, 1.10 A03, 4.05 rev 1.02.943, 4.06 rev 1.13.1107
* Phoenix 4 release 6 (User)
* Gateway Solo - Phoenix 4.0 release 6
* Toshiba
* Zenith AMI









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



g. now come to the: Bios Password to see: if you still see password enable, that means we fail but if we see they are Disable so we are done. Remember if we success remove password then we have to create a password for it and then remove it and click Apply to save to cmos memory. This is very important because sometimes we see it Disable but when reboot the computer they are Enable again cuz the password is still in the CMOS.




That�s all, good luck & don�t forget to set an easy password later.

0 Six Windows 8 enhancements that will benefit the business

By malingblog | At 02:26 | Label : IT News | 0 Comments

Takeaway: Although he remains skeptical that Windows 8 will be an immediate hit with the enterprise, Scott Lowe outlines eight features that he thinks will be good for business.

Although I remain skeptical that Windows 8 will be an immediate hit with the enterprise, there are some goodies coming in the new operating system that should appeal to the IT department.  Here, I will outline eight such features and explain why I think they�re good for business.

Windows To Go

You might be sick of hearing about the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) movement, but it seems to be growing in popularity, with some pundits even going so far as to say that it could wipe out the need for an IT department.  I am not one of those pundits.  I believe that BYOD is too important to ignore, but believe that IT has a critical role to play, even in that movement.
Microsoft might be on to something here, though.  With Windows To Go, a feature of the upcoming Windows 8 Enterprise, allows Windows 8 to be run from a USB stick on any Windows 7 or Windows 8 system.  Now, organizations can provide those that need to use personal devices with a corporate Windows image in a way that�s accessible.
Perhaps the downside here is that Windows To Go is that it requires Software Assurance in order to obtain Windows To Go use rights to use it at work and on a home PC.  Further, Microsoft is introducing a new �companion license,� employees can use Windows To Go on a personal device in the office.

Improved Task Manager

Not every improvement in Windows 8 is going to be immediately visible to the user.  Some items will be behind the scenes, but will improve the overall support function.  Once such tool is the lowly Task Manager, which hasn�t gotten a lot of love over the years.  Sure, Microsoft added the new Resource Monitor tool, which is fantastic, but with Windows 8, Microsoft has given Task Manager itself a huge functional facelift, making it much more useful and adding Metro application information.  My TechRepublic colleague, Rick Vanover, gave the new Task Manager a full walkthrough a few months ago, so I won�t repeat it all here, but have included a couple of updated screenshots below.

Secure Boot

Security is always a consideration in the enterprise.  Windows 8 adds a new feature called Secure Boot, a feature which disallows the loading of unauthorized firmware, operating systems, and drivers at boot time.  For x86 versions of Windows 8, Microsoft will require that vendors adding Secure Boot capabilities to their UEFI (as opposed to BIOS) systems also make provisions for users to be able to disable Secure Boot.  For Windows RT (ARM)-based Windows 8, manufacturers will not be allowed to disable Secure Boot.

Hyper-V on the desktop

Although not revolutionary since hypervisors such as VMware Workstation and Virtual PC have been around for years, Microsoft�s decision to fully bake Hyper-V into the Windows 8 client could have enterprise benefits.  Hyper-V is far more capable than type 2 hypervisors that were available before on the client side and may be a boon for developers that need to run multiple operating systems.
Hyper-V on a Windows 8 desktop requires systems with processors that support Second Level Address Translation (SLAT) and with enough resources to run multiple operating systems.

SMB 3

SMB 3 is another behind the scenes improvement.  But, when fully implemented, it�s one that users will probably come to appreciate.  SMB 3 brings to the table major performance and feature improvements.  SMB 3 also boasts encryption in transit and other features, including a new feature known as SMB multichannel. This allows the system to use multiple network channels, increasing overall throughout and adding fault tolerance to the environment.
Another colleague of mine, Stephen Foskett, has written a definitive guide to what�s new in SMB 3.  It�s worth a read.

Improved multi monitor support

Although Microsoft estimates the percentage of Windows users with multiple monitor installations in the low double-digits, for those people (myself included), multiple monitor support has often been frustrating, requiring add-ons in order for things to work as expected.  For example, in my three-monitor setup, the taskbar appears on only one monitor.  While this isn�t a huge problem, it is a frustration.  Windows 8 adds, for example, a multiple monitor taskbar and the ability to have different backgrounds on each display.  While the background images won�t matter much, having the taskbar across all assets will make life a bit easier for the 13.48% of desktop-based power users that use two displays.  My ZDnet colleague, Adrian Kingsley-Hughes, goes in depth into the new multi-monitor support in Windows 8.

Summary

I�ve been extremely concerned about some changes that Microsoft has made to Windows 8, namely the removal of the Start button and some window management challenges I see with Metro.  However, as I start to use it more, I�m beginning to warm to it, but still believe that Microsoft needs to listen to their audience before the final product ships.  That said, there are a number of business-friendly features that may be compelling for the enterprise user and administrator.
