ring them and ask them for the admin pass because they are the ones who put it on there as all acer's come with no pass installed

use this instruction, as it work for me.
A few tools needed:
- ptedit32
- Ultimate Boot CD for Windows
- a Linux Live CD (I used ubuntu lts 6.06)
Heres how to recover the password for eRecovery if you need too:
- Get a copy of ptedit32
- Download and make "Ultimate Boot CD for Windows" or UBCD4Win.com
- Boot into the preinstalled windows
- Run ptedit32
- Change the pqservice partition type to "07", my orginal was "12"... do remember that number
- Boot into linux live cd
- Mount the PQservice partition
- Look at "aimsdrs.dat"
- Change PQService patition type back to "12" (For some reason, mine auto went back)
- Reboot and do eRecovery
just chuck a xp cd in it and format, be done with it

why don't you take the HDD out hook it to your computer and backup whatever he wants, then you can format it and give it a fresh install.
if that doesn't serve you, there is a software that removes admin passwords, I'll see if I can find you a link. BTW what sort of computer are you dealing with and what operating system champ?
i have a simple program that will remove the admin pass if your really need it
Thanks guys - managed to get into the owners account and retrieve his private data - now time to format c:
I'll keep that offer in mind if ever I need it fandtm666 - thanks

dunno why people bother really
use power data recovery to get shit off the old drives if it dont read in 2nd pc.
clean install xp or vista,put their shit back, its done in 1 hour.
im severely over fix this n that dos programs
imho
and when you format the drive, allow 1/3 windows 2/3 spare partition.
go to my docs\properties,point target as D:\ or E:\ or watever that partition is.
saves lots of backing up next time you fix their **** box..

I have downloaded a program called Windows Passwords Unlocker 4.0 before to remove the password from different computers.
