Good evening everyone,
so a friend of mine asked me to help her out for an old machine. It's an Acer E1-510. Problem is the BIOS has a supervisor password and won't let me in change the boot order or any other setting for that matter. The Acer logo briefly flashes and then the screen goes for the HDD as a bootable device. I made a MS-DOS bootable flashdrive. With command: clnpwd it cleans successfully the user password, but on the supervisor password it says: This function is not supported by the platform. The CMOS battery is soldered on this motherboard. I opened the laptop and de-soldered the positive end only (the negative I didn't touch). I left the machine for about 10 full minutes and then soldered back the positive end. Laptop boots as before...aaaand it requires a supervisor password again. I am at a loss. I've never encountered something like that before. Can anyone help? Thank you in advance.
