Hi,

My friend has buggered up the password on his laptop.

Im trying to log on as administrator but i don't know the password. What is the default password on an acer 5610 aspire?

Or failing that how can i bypass the logon screen?

Cheers

you can use THIS to remove the password from any account on a windows machine.

its a bootable image (burn it to cd with any software capable of reading & writing .iso's) and make sure that your cd/dvd drive is before your hdd in the boot order (in the BIOS)

Yup, and if you change the password then all encrypted files will be unreadable. Of course, users hardly ever use the encryption feature, so it shouldn't be a problem.
