Acer Hard Drive Security Lock, Need advice.

Papahyooie · Jan 24, 2017

Back in the day, the modders of the original xbox did some work with grabbing the unlock key using a linux tool. The original xbox used (what I assume is, if I remember correctly) the same on-disk locking technique. Surely someone has done the same for a "normal" computer.

Worth a try.
try the password three times, and a dialog box should pop up with a code as above. Punch in the code to unlock the bios here...

I haven't used this site, only found it online, use at own risk. I have no idea if they charge or if it is free.

Yeah I tried that and it still wont except the code it gives me.
