Windows 10: lost password no space to reset Acer Aspire laptop

Okay so I have forgotten my password to my laptop (Acer Aspire purchased new 2018). I have tried to wipe data off in reset mode but it says that I need additional space but as I cannot access the laptop I can't free up space.. Help!

:)

 

reset laptop password

i could not figure out what forum this should go in, so feel free to move to whatever forum it should be in.
a friend just called, and said he has 2 daughters and 2 dell laptops. his daughters have lost the password to both laptops. is there a way to reset the password without a full reformat? he said his daughters have a lot of music, pictures, ect. and wants to avoid reinstalling windows.
i know that a long time ago there was a jumper on the motherboard that would reset the password on a regular pc. is there such a jumper on a laptop? or is there any free software that would let him reset the passwords? he can not afford a dell tech to fix, and i told him i would see if there was a way to reset it without a format. thanks!
he called me from out of state and due to a bad connection i couldnt find out what model laptops they are. thanks again! sam

 

My acer aspire esi-512-c32a won't factory reset!!!

Please try the following to Factory Reset your Acer Laptop to Windows 8.1:

Step 1: Start Acer Aspire laptop, and when you see Acer screen, press F2 to enter BIOS screen. In Main option, set D2D Recovery as “Enabled”.

Tips: This has to be made sure, otherwise, system restore would not complete successfully.

Step 2: Press F10 to save and exit BIOS. When you see Acer screen again, press ALT + F10. Until “Acer eRecovery” option appears, choose it
and press Enter.

Step 3: Select “Restore System to Factory Default Settings”.

Step 4: Now that may needs to type password if you have set password for ET.

After you type correct password, make sure data would be covered and click “OK” to begin system restore.

Step 5: Until system restore reaches 100%, message “Recovery has been completed” pops up. Click “OK” to restart laptop.

Step 6: Don’t shut off and wait for some minutes.

Step 7: System basic settings window pops up.

Step 8: Read the license agreement and agree it by ticking “I agree license agreement”.

Step 9: Type user and password, and confirm password.

Step 10: Choose “Recommended Settings”. Type previous password, and press Enter.

I hope this Helps!

Hi,

I have the same issue with the same Acer Aspire One Cloudbook 14.
