My Acer Notebook has software called "Notebook Manager" installed in. It will prompt for password when opened, but somehow I forgot it. Is tehere any way I can find the password inside by opening certain files? How can I recover my password?

Try searching for *.pwd files under DOS.
Most of the times, passwords can be found in files, wich you can find in DOS.

Maybe it helps.

Good luck
