    Default Clearing BIOS Password on Acer Laptop

    I was experimenting and I set BIOS password but now I cannot go back to factory BIOS settings.
    What can I do or does anyone know any professional help I can hire to do this for me?

    Clear CMOS.

    What's your motherboard model? If it's the one listed in your profile, then unplug power, remove the CMOS battery, use the CLRTC Jumper to clear the memory. Wait for at least a minute or two just to be sure. Then put the jumper in previous position, put the battery back in, plug in the computer and see if did the trick. You'd need to reconfigure the BIOS settings you've changed previously.

    Oh, it's a laptop. Sorry.

    Did you try this website?

    https://bios-pw.org/

    My google-fu says you should get the hash code if you enter wrong password multiple times. Then you can use that hash on the linked site to get the password.

    Yes I have been getting into the BIOS using that.
    But the question is how do I remove the password so that I do not have to do that again and again.

    Can't you reset everything from inside the bios? I haven't seen Acer's bios, can't help you there.

    There is no option that may hint to resetting password.
    But the options to set the passwords are accessible.
    I wonder if it will remove the password if I enter it as blank?

    -------------------------UPDATE----------------------------
    @Swapnil It worked. Thanks for your help.
