[Request] Bios unlock key for Acer aspire 5 A515-51G
Hello there!
I am currently owning an Acer aspire 5 A515-51G. the motherboard's name is C5V01 LAE-892P.
I am trying to unlock my BIOS password. I tried to look for CMOS and actually found that battery. I removed it for like 3 hours and put it back. The password was still set. I tried to fiddle around with the plateform.ini file in the BIOS driver installation like what shown in the picture below. I set the password to 1 ( even though I think ALL means that everything below will be force flashed including the pasword).
But it didnt work.
As for now I couldn't find the Unlock key for that you get after trying 3 times a wrong password. The key is 1136186757 if anyone can help me with that!
Another thing I tried is to download the clnpwd. But it requires the laptop to be booted to floppy disk.the problem is I cannot boot from external drive since its disabled from the BIOS. I also tried to find that option in the platform.ini to solve it but I couldn't find it.
I found other softwares that can run under Windows but I got scared of ruining the laptop since I read some comments about some people who have tried it and said that their laptop didn't boot after using it.
This was the main reason why I want to unlock.I tried to Install linux once, and found out about the boot from external drive option disabled.then I booted to the BIOS and found out that its locked.I bought the laptop used and I haven't checked the BIOS since the day I got my hands on it.the worst part is,if something happens for example during a Windows Update. the laptop is done for.

I am a newbie here. I found some forums that asks you to pay in order to give you the unlock key, but I didn't wanna risk it.besides 30dollars seems alot to me as a student.
Can someone show me the way of how to unlock it? I appreciate any help!
