Flashing the bios on Acer Aspire 5102WLMi will erase all passwords previously set. This is obviously a bug! All passwords should not be wiped out with a bios flash (or at least they weren't on a Dell). Or, if they are, it should be stated up front so the passwords can be set again once the bios is "updated'".
Flashing the bios will erase all data. It's a feature, not a bug. -- Tyop? _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it. Charter: http://lists.grok.org.uk/full-disclosure-charter.html Hosted and sponsored by Secunia - http://secunia.com/
