Hi.

I've recently been given an ACER eM350 Netbook from my little brother, since he has gotten himself a proper PC.
It's in working condition, save from a few missing keys on the keyboard.

Only problem is that he cannot for the life of him remember the password (he's 11), nor does he still have the original box with all associated media.

It runs Windows 7 Starter SNPC OA Acer Group.

Can anyone offer any advice as to what to do?
I'd really like to have it working so I can use it for browsing from my sofa.

Also, there is no CD/DVD drive so a reinstall is out of the question.
As is booting a password recovery program from a CD.

Thanks in advance.

Nothing.

Without a CD/DVD Drive you both cant do a re-install or a password crack unless you can get it to boot from USB first and have the program boot off the USB which doesnt always work.

If possible, track down someone or buy a USB powered DVD drive and re-install Windows 7 Starter. (Provided you have the disc) or try a Windows 7 Password cracker.

EDIT: This might help, guide for making a USB Picklock for Windows.
