| | | | My mother- in- law has locked her computer. There was never a password set
up when the computer was set up, so there is no password or password disk.
The computer is asking for a password to allow access. Is there any way to
reset the computer short of reinstalling the OS. The computer is an Acer and
didn't come with an OS disk. I have an OS disk, but am not sure I can use it.

Let's pretend that at some recent point either a password was entered by
someone or the computer crashed and now thinks it needs a password do to
some bad file or registry entry.
Try this KB.

You have to boot from the OS Disk, but after you accept the language
settings, click Repair Installation
Follow the KB instructions and pick a Restore Point date when you know that
you could boot the computer and log on without entering a password.
