How do I factory restore my aspire 572p-4429 v5 with a lost admin password?

I recently got my girlfriend a demonstration unit aspire v5. However, it has a top admin password, I contacted the store and they did not know the password. I looked online and have not been able to find something solid. I was told by pulling the cmos battery would reset it. It work? If not what is another option I can do?

If you do not need to recover files...

Press ALT + F10 at startup, it will launch Acer erecovery and re-install the operating system.

  • How to set up a connection to local access, but with the MD5 encrypted password

    Hello

    I can set up an unencrypted password, but how do you create an encrypted?

    Thank you
    Jeff

    Hi Jeff,

    Use "secret" instead of "password". By example, instead of using something like 'example password Cisco username', use 'secret example Cisco username. In this way, your secret is hashed with MD5.

    You can also consider using an external AAA server for authentication.

    I used to be able to print booklet and change the print setting to save it as a postscript and distill but when I do that now pages get cropped so that they are more 12 x 18.

    Thanks P Spier, but I already had that and it still wouldn't let me print on paper 11 x 17 (but I probably need as ppd to operate).

  • K1 "unrecoverable error bootloader (0 x 19000008) after the factory restore".

    Having some problems with my K1 for a while & finally decided to do a factory restore and start over. Fact the factory restore (exactly like I had to with my android phone a couple of weeks) & now he jumped to the top with

    «Erase Userdata...»

    Boot loader fatal error (0 x 19000008)

    He sat there for a while. I tried to hold the power button, but nothing. This tablet has been updated to the latest version, it has not rooted or anything else. Just completely factory & updated. The problems I had when I decided to restore it was running mostly just super slow. Took forever to get the apps to arrive on the screen & such things. Thought I just having too much junk previously installed on it, so I tried to restore it & start over. Bad idea! Any idea? My 2 weeks im slammed all day every day & cant slow to call assistance & wait always hold to try & fix it (assuming that they can even repair). Would be delighted to hear that its an easy fix but I'm sure used to be the case. I bought it back in November 2011, so its only 6 months old.

    Hi Javahead

    Recently, I did the same thing after that my front cam went wrong. I got the same error. But after a few reboots and maybe wait a few minutes before trying again. Finally, he went through the process and completed successfully.

  • Failure of the factory restore?

    I tried to do a factory restore on my HP Pavilion m8247c with windows vista, so I could start over and put a new operating system on it. After that the restoration was finished he started and I got an error message saying: Configuration system error. Saying that if I fix my PC does not work, then the message ended by saying "(Code Purple)". "  Someone knows how to fix this problem, so I can use my computer again?

    Hello

    If you want to try to get Vista running, then try this:

    With error code purple on the screen, press SHIFT + f10 (the shift key and press F10 (at the top of the keyboard) at the same time) to open a small screen called command prompt. (So you get a small black screen with white text that says something about your first Windows version and ways down a bit, you will see "C:\ > '.)   It is all ready before you start typing.)
    Type the following line, just as you see here...

    Notepad C:\hp\bin\checkdmi\checkdmi.cmd

    so it will look like this

    C:\>Notepad C:\hp\bin\checkdmi\checkdmi.cmd

    Press ENTER.

    You will see the text of the file listed in a window using a simple text editor.
    Go to the beginning of the text. Press ENTER to set a space. This type...

    Goto cleanup

    Therefore, everything that comes after that, the first line looks like this...

    Goto cleanup

    Save the Notepad file and exit and restart your PC. You're good to go.

    Otherwise, install the new operating system itself, as has been pointed out by Frank.

  • Satellite A500 - factory restore

    Hiya

    I was wondering if someone can help me.

    I had no end of problems with my laptop with one thing and another, and for these last months, I had a problem with my windows install. I can not install, download or update anything because it says that there is an error with the installation program. I tried various things to try and fix this, but think that the only thing for me to do now is to do a factory restore.

    The problem is its asking me a password that I don't have. Is there a way to get around this?

    Thank you very much

    PS - or maybe someone can suggest a way to fix the installer: o)

    If you use the Windows login password, use the same. If not, put your account without password name and click Next.

  • Unable to sign on my MOTOBLUR account after the factory restore

    After seeing that I wasn't getting updated and no could not remove all the accounts on my CLIQ, I did a factory restore and tried to sign in with my existing MOTOBLUR account. An error message pops up saying that the session has expired or the password is incorrect.

    The password cannot be wrong, because I can access my account online. The message appears whenever I'm trying to connect. I use only a wifi connection.
    What should I do?

    To sign in blur, you will need to use 3G or wifi. You said you use wifi, make sure that the wifi icon is on the notification bar. If this is not the case, press menu and you can set it here when you register in blur of installation. If you still can not sign trying to join a 3G area, and then try again. The time-out error is saying that you don't send fast enough information on the server of blur. Password error appears but is not always the problem. If you arrive at sign always used the password and then follow the instructions to reset, then try again. Make sure that you use an e-mail address that you will be able to receive mail from.

  • Help! Aspire 5735 laptop with broken screen does not recognize external monitor after the factory restore

    I have an ACER Aspire 5735, running horrible Vista that never worked from the beginning, always locked up, media player never worked, on, on, and after about a year my dog took in the power cord and threw out of the table and the broken screen. I used it with an external monitor for a while, but it was even worse after that and after that he take to get fixed yet has proceeded to run super slow, always locked up, refused to stop or start upward normally, and so he sat in a closet for about 3 years.

    I took it out a week ago to see if I could at least use it for my kids to friends to play on, but that she still had so many questions, I decided to do a factory restore. And of course the recovery disks that I did when I got it do not work and are not yet recognized by the computer. So I went online and has used a method that I found there by rebooting and hitting the keys ALT F10 until I was at the factory reset option. It worked GREAT! Except once the computer has restarted and opened up to windows deleted monitor and I can't do anything with the computer because apparently it does not recognize that it is hooked to an external monitor on the restore to factory settings! Help!

    She does not recognize the monitor as it has been restarted and was even the windows start the display of the icon, but as soon as it loads the screen becomes black with just the graphics "monitor is on but not connected to what either" floating around.

    Is it possible to access something in the BACK or other so he could recognize the external monitor?  What is finally toast?

    Connect the external monitor to the laptop.

    Hold down the FN key and press the F4 key. Check if you get a display on the external monitor.

    Hello

    Here are the different ways to reinstall vista

    Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista
