I forgot my password on my laptop,and have no idea how to reset it that way I can log on to my laptop. I have an acer aspire 5520-5912. It has windows vista home premium (if that matters). Please help! All answers are greatly appreciated!

well i would go to the computer store and ask them to reset your computer and it would be good for you to go to fire dog in new brunswick becasue they do it for free and believe me i did the same thing

Reset Password
No problem… just remove your Motherboard battery and replace it after ten minutes and reset your password.

you will need to reload the operating system. if you hold down alt while tapping f10 at the white acer screen it should take you into acer e recovery management,and have the option to restore system to factory default. that will reload the os. if you are unable to get e recovery to work you will need to use recovery disc to reload the operating system. they can usually be purchased from acer for 19.90 plus shipping and handling.
