Have you contacted Acer about a default password ?

Why is it impossible??? And how are you going to make
 D drive A in CMOS ?? Are you trying to say you need
to boot from your cd drive ?

Some laptops have the CMOS programmed thru the serial

back to factory. You can still reset the old way, but I wouldn't
suggest it unless you're qualified.
