Question : Problem: I need to reset the BIOS password for an Acer Aspire 5315 notebook as soon as possible.

Working on an Acer Aspire 5315 notebook that needs the BIOS password reset.  Trying to locate bios battery on systemboard but I'm not familiar with this system.  Does anyone know where to locate the cmos battery or jumpers to reset the bios?  Or possibly a service manual for this model?

You *might* get lucky with this.

Otherwise Acer passwords are generally stored in EEPROM and generally removing the battery does not do the trick.
