I have this little Acer R3 and you have to enable legacy drivers to get it to boot to an external DVD drive, which consequently, makes it not see the internal HDD. So I can boot the CD, but when it comes time to select the partition with Windows, it can't find it. What do I do?
Well, I'll just smash these laptop because Acer is garbage and their customer suppork are the worst too!
Set it back to UEFI & boot into WinPE. From there you can load the registry offline & reset the password. Same method since Win 8. See: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...soft-account-password-hack.40631/#post-686800
