I'd suggest finding the jumper to reset it but how the hell you do that in a lappy, I dunno.
Edit: here's something.

Refurb AspireOne netbook has bios password
Hi guys,
i recently bought a refurbished Acer AspireOne notebook off tigerdirect.
they ran out of the one i ordered (120gb) and sent me a 160gb model instead, and the battery performance is great too, so im happy with my purchase.
The only downside is, that i recently found out that it has a bios password.
This doesnt prevent me from accessing the boot-device menu though (where you specify to boot off hd/flash/etc) as its a different menu.
i tried flashing the bios with a newer version but the password still seems to be there.
I only have 3 months (like 2 months left now) of warranty, and other than the bios password, the netbook is perfectly functional.
What do you guys think i should do about it?
thanks
