acer enpowering technology password

[dave.]

forgotten the enpowering technology password on my acer computer, anybody know how to find the file its in and decript it.

[Jackd]

a quick google suggests

The password is stored in a file on the hidden partition. The best way to get at this is to use something like "The Ultimate Boot CD" that will run a complete system from a cd. Once it is booted, you can navigate to the file %drive letter%\TOOLS\AIMDRS.DAT, use any text editor or notepad to view this file and find the password.
