Hello, all. I am sorry if this topic was previously discussed but I couldn't find exactly what i am looking for. I have an Acer laptop. It's a mini laptop, actually. I do not have a CD ROM or anything and all the solutions to the forgotten password are saying to load a disk. I obviously cannot do that. So, does anyone know how I can fix my forgotten password problem that doesn't require me to insert a disk or CD ROM? I'm going crazy trying to remember this darn password! Please help! Thank you in advance!

Your best option is to call Acer for recovery CD.
