You must also reprimand your son with extreme prejudice. Otherwise he will think it is alright to go around changing dad's computer BIOS password and expecting everything to be normal and life to continue as usual.
Please help guys am in a fix here On Fri, Feb 5, 2010 at 12:02 PM, Philip Musyoki <pmusyoki@gmail.com> wrote:

Endless, There is actually a bug in the Acer Aspire Bios that confuses some characters. I solved this problem by flashing the Acer Bios - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6GRhsvP-og Its so simple a kid could do it :-) -----Original Message----- From: skunk works <skunkworks100@gmail.com> Reply-to: Skunkworks Forum <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> To: Skunkworks forum <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> Subject: [Skunkworks] LOST Power On Password Date: Fri, 5 Feb 2010 11:07:33 +0300 I have a son who set the BIOS boot password on but can not remember The PC is Acer Aspire series one ZG5 with an atom processor Any ideas how i can solve this problem?
