Hello Computer talk~
At home im having trouble booting my computer.
After the loading screen of Acer i have 34 seconds before the computer reboots,
i tried using the recovery disk provided by acer but it doesnt load at all.
Ive tried altering the BIOS thing to make it boot the CD but it doesnt load or anything.
When i try to get into the boot settings from acer, it asks for a supervisor password, i tried entering my own but since im not Admin i though it wouldnt accept but when i enter my password it says something like:''Not supervisor password press any key to continue''
And my fathers password (who IS admin) Just says ''Invalid password Please try again'' After that i tried booting in safe mode and altering the msconfig to only make windows thingy start up at booting but then it crashes almost instanly so i think its an driver? but im not a genius so what should i try next? :[ im all out of ideas.

I think it would be best to reformat.

If you get the right tool you can get back everything you delete, unless you did a slow complete format, then they are permanently gone. But if you do that, one of the files you recover might contain the virus and spread it again, so install an anti virus tool.
My BIOS setup screen and recovery console always ask for a password too. I've never set a password for them, I just leave it blank and press enter. That works.

Default password for Acer recovery is six zeros.
