I cant remember the passwords set up to do recovery is there a way around it without
messing it up, its brandnew ive only got to get on it 2 times and still cant use it the
company wants 100 bucks to unlock it.. i so need help.
Dave says:
March 17, 2012 at 7:45 pm
Try tapping F8 at boot and boot into Safe Mode. Sometimes this will reveal an
Admin login you dont normally see. This login may not have a password associated
with it. If this is the case, you can then go into the control panel and set new
passwords for the other accounts. Good luck.

Were you installing the Operating System? Did you change or install anything
prior to this behavior? Try tapping F8 when booting and see if you can get
into Safe Mode and undo whatever is going on. You may want to join our free
forums for additional help, as that is a better venue.

Make sure you are using a genuine, original XP install disk and
that there are no scratches on it. I would attempt the install
again. This time, make sure all external devices, such as printers,
scanners, cameras, etc are not connected, as this can sometimes
cause driver issues during install.

Hey Dave I have a problem with my acer when I turn on my computer it
show the Acer logo and then it say starting windows and after that a
black screen comes up and it have launch windows to x problem or
start windows normanly and I have tried both when I had pressed start
normanly it wont load up and when I pressed launched windows to x
problem it start looking for problem and then a box comes up to set the
computer back to a earlier time where it was working correctly before.
What should I do from there?
Dave says:
April 28, 2012 at 3:03 pm
Whitney, its asking if you want to do a system restore, which is
safe. Select that and then go back to a date when it was working
good. Hopefully that will x your issue.

shut down the laptop so i can access the android part of may laptop but i didnt work that
is why i did the system recovery. i install 15 updates yesterday but this morning when i

Hi I have an aspire one 532h and as I was doing the restore it did everything until it got to
99% and its just stuck there now. I dont know if I should turn it o and try again or if that
will just mess it up even more?!? Please Help!! It was at the black screen day in & day out
with the curser visible, thats what made me look up to restore it back.
Dave says:
November 13, 2012 at 11:05 pm
You can run it again. This time I would unplug any external devices such as a

conguration.

like another user above, when windows boots from the recovery partition I am prompted
to choose other user as a log in, but cannot guess a username or password for it. when
my computer was functioning before the recovery i used no passwords at all.

You could run a linux live cd, boot to that cd and navigate to the les on your

Do you not have the disk or a recovery partition on that computer? I would look up
the manual on the Acer website and see what specic instructions they have for
your machine. There might be a recovery partition that you can run that will wipe
and reinstall Windows.

This is exactly what the system said:
inserted the System recovery Disc rst as per directions and restarted. It ran ne and the
Windows screen popped up and soon after the eRecovery screen popped up. I followed
the instructions and selected Completely Restore System to Factory Defaults since the
only other option required retaining user data which there was none. Upon selecting my
choice it takes me to a Restore Destination screen and I think this is where the problem
is

Hi dave,
I have an acer aspire 5520
I decided to do a factory restore from alt f10. I do not have any cds.
During the restore my computer died due to not realizing tgat my son had unplugged my
laptop.
I powered it back on and the ACER logo appears for a couple of seconds then goes to a
black screen with a blinking white cursor.
I have tried alt f10 and it just makes a really loud bleeping sound. I have went to f2 and
made sure d2d recovery was enabled as well.
Any help would be VERY appreciated.
Thanks

Walter, if you can still boot into Windows, see if it has an Acer Empowering

initiate the Acer recovery from there. Or refer to this video. http://www.youtube.com

I have an Acer Aspire 5733. The mousepad on the laptop froze last night. so I restarted
the laptop. It never left tho start screen so I went ahead and tried to do the factory
restore with it backing up the data on a section of the c drive. It gets all the way to the
restart where it says setup is starting services. Then says windows cannot load and then
restarts. It does this over and over. I was trying to run it with the backup to avoid losing
some important stu that I hadnt gotten around to saving. Will I have to just do a
complete factory restore and lose all of the les for the restore to work?
