Password Problem Hi there guys my name is Phil and have recently just lost my Father, 60 it was very sudden and unexpected. Amongst his possesions I discovered his Laptop an Acer Aspire 5315 using Vista Home Basic and was going to make sure it was working and pass it to my daughter so she can use it instead of pestering me for mine, she is only 12 and was going to buy her one but with what has recently happened and with the Acer laptop in perfect condition she may as well use that for now. Now the problem is my Father has a vista password on it for the life of me I have no idea wot he would of used, now I uderstand about these password recovery CD's you can create so I tried that, now the only thing with this is in the bios he has set a bloddy password for that too and the laptop boots from the hard drive and does not boot from the disc haha, typical of him he always had to fiddle about with everything. Could anyone please give me some advise on how I can resolve this issue.. Thank You - Phil

    the battery is clearly visiable on the motherboard, it is a round dime shaped one. I have this same board, so know it has one.
