I have just bought a second hand acer acros pentium 166 pc with windows 98
when i try to get into bios there is a password.
i have looked on acer site but can not find how to get rid of passord. presumably it is a jumper setting but I don't know which one.
all help would be appreciated,
thanks
ps. motherboard at bootup says acr4be00-m11-970328

Look to see if the mother has this switch:

SW2 Settings

Switch Setting Function Sound Feature
Switch 5
ON- Onboard sound chip disabled
OFF-Onboard sound chip enabled

Password Security
Switch 6
ON- Password bypass
OFF-Password check

If it does try the switch 6 ON setting.

Ian,

Check out the link below. It offers some default passwords for different Bios's. It also offers some hardware work arounds.
Good Luck.
