I had created recovery and backup disc when i bought the laptop. So reimaged a brand new harddrive. It knows my name but not taking my password. Tried many older ones used and nothing works....

I have tried all passwords i used in the past...not working. My recent password hint not listed. Acer does not give you operating system discs. You have to create system repair disc and 3 backup image copies.
