ACER eSettings Management Software?

Does anyone know where to download ACER eSettings Management Software? I cannot remember my BIOS Password and need to delete/reset it.http://www.tech-faq.com/how-do-i-reset-an-acer-bios-password.html discusses how to do this but I cannot find the software.
I really do not want to open up the Laptop and remove the Bios Battery.

Hello Laurent_14, Sorry for my delay.Thank You for your response regarding the eSettings Software. It doesn't seem to help my situation though. I decided to install Vista on the Laptop so I could run eSettings Mgmt, but as you probably realize finding drivers thast will work with Vista for that Acer Model was impossible.
Regardless, I installed Vista, then the Management software suite. All looked good except for the fact that eSettings would not allow me to change the Bios password. That Button was Grayed out.The button to set a password was enabled but told me I had to enable the option in Bios. ARRRRRG. I used a Bios Password Generator to allow me into the Bios and was able to set Security to Legacy in order to install Vista, but still could not change the existing password without knowing the original.
Any reason this software would not see that a password was set and allow me to change it.
Any further suggestions you could possibly offer??? Thanks for responding and your help up to this point.

  • Acer Backup Manager Issue

    Hello,
    I am new to this forum but I did check the data base for past similar issues.  I recently started using Acer Backup Manager and all seems to work except for backing up "My Favorites".  It startes to backup and after a period of time I get an error message that reads "Unable to read from or write to the database". I have tried several times with different memory sticks but get the same results.  This occured when I used Windows 8.1 and the problem is still there after I upgraded to Windows 10.  My laptop is an Acer Aspire/V5 and the ser# is NXM49AA012****.  I was wondering if anyone has any ideas as to where to start or if this problem has occured to anyone else?
    Thanks

    Hi there, Yes there is no available driver on the acer site as ELAN or Synaptics is like a third party software..
    You may check it on your mouse properties under device settings.
    If your touchpad is just disabling on its own or sometimes freezing then will go ok again
    thats a software fault only .. driver reloading or doing  a factory reset will fix this.
    Note:If this issue just started few days ago or just 1-2 weeks ago
    try running system restore on the machine and choose the date when the touchpad is working fine with no problems
    as this is a possible update problem only.
    If your touchpad is just Disabling on its own and you need to turn it on again by pressing Fn+7
    its a possible softward or hardware.. if doing the troubleshooting steps above wont work.
    You need to call Acer for assistance of repair for touchpad board replacement.As I said it started from the first start up after I've bought it. So I guess neither System Restore (which I tried to the earliest point, just in case) nor resetting it to factory settings would solve the problem.
    I think its not disabling itself since I have to press Fn+F7 two times (to reset it not turn it back on).
    Anyway, I was happy to find out that Acer released the Synaptics driver for the touchpad. However It did not solve the issue. Touchpad still freezing. I guess I'll be calling Acer for repair. I feel reluctant to do so though, since I've bought this laptop just two weeks ago.

  • My Acer Recovery Management is not working. How do I get a disc of factory settings?

    I've tried to do a restore point on my computer after downloading software that it didn't like. Then when that failed to work, I was going to restore the computer do default setting. There is an bug in the namescript of the Acer Recovery Manger. I tried to download the Acer Recovery Manager online and there was an error. I even tried from the Acer Recovery Manger itself but it didn't want to do that either. I don't think that I have the discs for recovery (if I do they're in a box somewhere as I'm in the middle of moving). Is there some place online that I can create recovery discs? 

    Have you tried ALT+F10 at boot? by the way, if you want the original installation media:Acer recovery media
    if you are in the US you can buy it:
    http://store.acer.com/store/aceramer/en_US/eRecovery
    if you are outside the US, you must call/email your regional Acer support service:

  • Lion Battery Management Software seems to be erratic.

    The Lion OS X 10.7.2 battery management software appears to be very erratic.
    I just brought a new MacBook Pro direct from Apple last week (late 2011, 15", 2.4 GHz, 8 GB 1333 Mhz DDR3, 7500 rpm disc) with Lion OS X 10.7.2 preinstalled, i.e., the latest and greatest. I was only getting 3 hours on a battery charge until it ran out. After searching the forums nothing quite matched (older models, different graphic cards, more constrained systems, Lion software upgrades, etc).
    I have the screen brightness set to about 50%, the power option "put disks to sleep whenever possible", and the keyboard set to turn off the light after 30 seconds of non-use. On battery, I have "display sleep" at 6 minutes and "computer sleep" set to 10 minutes. So I am not pushing the power consumption very hard.
    I ran a "repair" from the recovery partition and my hard disk had no problems.
    So I tried the Reset Power Manager metioned in another thread:
    Shutdown
    Depress Ctrl+Option+Shift
    Power on
    Hold for at least 10 seconds
    Power on
    and that extended my battery charge to 6 hours, not quite the 7 hours advertised. (I even tried it on my mid 2009 Mac Book Pro 13", Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.8 and its battery life was extended by about .67%).
    But I started seeing odd reporting in the "time remaining" in the battery icon. The "time remaining" would fluctuate by as much as 20% in a just a few seconds, going either up or down! For example, it would jump from 4 hours to 3 hours, then up to 3.5 hours then up to 4.5 hours, down to 1.3 hours, and back up to 4.0, and so forth whenever I changed the state.
    So I watched the "battery charge remaining" over several hours with different states:  (WIFI on/off, start/stop applications, turn Thunderbird/Firefox to offline and back to online; Thunderbird is not an issue because I have it set to check for incoming messages every 2 hours not every few minutes) and I monitored using the Activity Monitor and the widget iStat Pro. The cpu was reported to never exceed 2% busy, user+system, and free memory never fell below 5.9 GB with minimwl swapping and paging, i.e. the machine was basically idle even when I had WIFI on with Firefox watching Adobe Flash video from the net, which is purportedly a CPU hog (it is not).
    Has anyone else seen this erratic battery software managemt behavior? Does any have an explanation?

    I noticed in some archived threads that someone suggested changing "time" to "percentage" because "time" remaining is calculated every few seconds and is very sensitive to changes of state as I noted in my post. I don't see that "solution" as much use because it doesn't tell me "percentage" of what? The amount of charge left? What I really what to know is "how long will my charge last?". 70% of 3 hours is something quite different than 70% of 7 hours. It seems to me that the time remaining ought to be calculated less often. The value is reported in hh:mm. I don't see much point in calculating it every few seconds. Once a minute would actually be more accurate.

  • App-V 5.0 SP2 Standard & Middleware Package Publish by RES Management Software?

    Hi @all,
    actually i am sitting by a customer packaging App-V 5.0 SP2 PAckages with Sequencer.
    I have made Standard and Middleware-Packages.
    Did somebody can say me how to publish App-V Packages (Standard & Middleware) by RES Management Software?
    F.e. an App-V Package looks like this
    AdobeAcrobatStandard80_DE.appv
    AdobeAcrobatStandard80_DE.msi
    AdobeAcrobatStandard80_DE_DeploymentConfig.xml
    AdobeAcrobatStandard80_DE_UserConfig.xml
    report.xml
    How can i define Connection Groups, that i can make connections between Standard and Middleware Applications?
    Greetz Berni

    If you don't use the App-V Management server nor ConfigManager to deploy App-V packages, you have to create a ConnectionGroup definition XML file manually and then add the individual applications as well as the connection group definition to a client machine.
    To create the ConenctionGroup XML file, you can use Notepad, Tim Mangan's
    Appv_DefConnGroups or powershell (for instance as described by Aaron Parker on
    Stealthpuppy)
    adding the App-V packages and the connection group(s) to a client can be done with powershell (but their might be some special features for that in RES already)

    If you upgraded to Snow Leopard, then it would seem that Suitcase 11 is not compatible with Snow Leopard and you'd need to buy Suitcase Fusion 3 for $99.95.

  • Need security management software for OS 8.6 through 9.2

    Are there any security management softwares available these days for OS 8.6 through OS 9.2? Something which lets the computer owner turn off firewire and USB is what I'm looking for. It would be nice to be able to allow only some selected USB devices, like a keyboard and a printer or scanner, and still disallow external drives or thumb flash drives, but turning off all USB would be useful on machines which don't need USB keyboards, like beige or B&W PMG3 computers or G3 iBooks.

  • Best project management software for mac

    Does anyone have any recommendations for the best project management software or strategic planning software for imac??
    Thanks

    If you are willing to spend money on professional tool with free support, if the team get's large, I would ask you to look at ConceptDraw Project. If you are dead set on open source and "free" software I would say that Redmine, Bugzilla or any other that has been around a while, and looking for plugins to make it suit your needs is one of your best bets.

  • Free Project Management Software for Mac or windows!

    Hi all,
    Does anyone know of a good project management software that does more than what Microsoft project does and is freely available? I mean one that has a local application but also can update updates to the web side of the software? I saw sharedPlan which is really good so far but its not freely available. It runs on Mac and Windows but really looking for a windows version as all my team members only use windows.
    So I guess am asking for one that's open source?
    Please let me know.

    You might want to check out Wikipedia page and look for open source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparisonof_project_managementsoftware
    The only free tools that I know of are web based such as Zoho projects, Basecamp etc..
    Or you can always download and use for 30 days tools from:

  • Project/Task Management Software for iMac, iPad and iPhone

    Hi,
    I work at a Espresso Bars company in Sydney and we have a small but busy Design & Marketing department.  We're looking for the best, yet simplest software so we can manage all the marketing and design projects.
    I've seen a few good Online Management Software but they are quite expensive ($25+ per month per user).  The good thing about those systems is that you can access it from anywhere and people can collaborate, ask questions about a project, give feedback about a design, enter a new task or tick as completed, etc... And you can use it on an iMac, an iPad and an iPhone.
    I came across Projector for iMac and iPad, but it is not online, if you want to share the project from iMac to iPad you have to conect your iPad to your computer and sync it.  It also works by projects, so there is no way for you to see in a single screen all the projects you're currently working on and the process of them.  So, although it being very user friendly and excellent UI, not sure if it is what we want.
    I wanted to ask you if you know about another Project/Task Management Software that we can use on an iMac, iPad and perhaps and iPhone as well.  Something that you either buy the app once or if you have to pay a monthly fee it needs to be very low.  If it is online it would be much better! but everything would work I reckon.
    User friendly and good UI software are preferred.
    Thank you so much for your help!
    Cheers

  • New BlackBerry Desktop Manager software for Mac

    Let me know if there is a better "BlackBerry" forum to ask these questions -- but just wondering if this software will backup Address Book on my Mac to my BlackBerry without erasing everything I've already entered into the Blackberry by hand the past 2 years...
    ...also we have the Enterprise (corporate account) BlackBerry license (BB 8820) - if I use the newly released BlackBerry Desktop Manager software will that make a real mess of things or is it compatible.
    Thanks for any comments or references to other forums or such. I come here because everything I've done with computers since 1989 is MAC - and this is a great discussion site-- and yet my latest job is using BB's... (and most others are on PC's...)

    As far as screwing things up, mine went fine. There were some comments about problems. If you go to crackberry. com, there is a Mac users area, under Forums/Blackberry Operating Systems and Desktop Managent.

  • Q4_How to manage software material and BOM in SAP_High-tech Industry PLM Implementation Issues

    Hello,
    We are implementing SAP PLM for a high-tech company which designs and manufactures mobile phones (ODM). Since we are new in PLM consulting and we are facing with some implementation difficulties, we are looking for some solutions here.
    Question 4: How to manage software material and BOM in SAP?
    Currently, software are not managed as material in the BOM.  How to manage software material in PLM, can anyone help us with some suggestions.
    Question 5: PADS integration with PLM.
    Currently, customer is using Pro/E and PADS to design their product. SAP has already provided standard interface for Pro/E integration. But for PADS, there is no such interface. Because of the specialization of electrical components managed in PADS, different from structural parts in Pro/E, how to transfer them between PLM system and manage them in the PLM system has become an difficulty. We will appreciate a lot if anyone can share us with some successful solutions.

    Hi,
    software, typically a released version of software, is typically managed as a normal material master, and a related document with the code as a package (e.g. ZIP), if really needed.
    Software in development is managed typically with a dedicated Software Configuration Management tool like Rational ClearCase, Subversion, MKS Integrity, ....

  • Quotes for "Managing Software Engineerin​g" and "Advanced Architectu​res" course material?

    I tried sending an e-mail through NI.com and never got a response, so I thought I'd try the forums.
    I'm interested in purchasing the course materials for "Managing Software Engineering" and "Advanced Architectures" as part of my CLA prep. There aren't any courses being taught in my area, and nothing seems to be scheduled for an online course. I couldn't find the information searching through the course pages on NI.com.
    Does anyone know how much it would cost to get just the course material for self-teaching?
    Thanks.
