Check that jumper first. It’s usually under the ram. You pull the battery first, then the ram, then short those two pads together with some conductive thing, then put the ram back in, then the battery then see if there’s a password. Don’t try to short the pads with a flat head screwdriver, sometimes the pads are slightly recessed and don’t make contact at the same time. Use a paperclip like a normal person. Stay on it for five seconds.
I’ll try to chase down a “good” copy of that acer password utility.
OK, on the advice of everyone here I am willing to attempt this procedure I guess. I'm gonna give it a few days in case the password shows up first.
