When either the BIOS password or the HDD password are set, they won’t be recognized unless typed in uppercase. If the password was typed with a mix of uppercase and lowercase, it will fail. If it happens with the BIOS password, the BIOS needs to be reflashed, if this happens with the HDD password, the password needs to be changed in the BIOS where the case mix will be properly recognized to a all uppercase password. Acer does not acknowledge the issue, does not mention it when customers call the support line and charges 125$ (US and Canadian customers) to reset the password
