[REQUEST] Acer Aspire A315-51 BIOS Unlock

[sulthan90]

Hello all,
I am having Acer Aspire 3 A315-51-316K model i3 processor 7130U with 4 GB ram (Soldered). I use Fedora OS. I want to remove this and install new OS. For this, I created bootable USB and started the installation process. To my surprise, the BIOS asks for Current password after I press f2 or f12 button. So, I am unable to enter the BIOS settings now. 

I that three attempt and the Laptop gives a unlock code. The bios present in the laptop is of Insyde and the recovery code for Insyde is usualy 8 digit but the recovery code I received is 10 digit. I am sure its Insyde bios. I have already checked. So the back door bios reset option like bios-pw.org doesn't work.

I tried a hard reset by removing the laptop battery, CMOS battery and left for about an hour but still no use. I couldn't locate the jumper as well. 

Help me unlock the bios. Thank you.

Hi,

I'm trying to install an NVME EGpu in my Acer Aspire 3 A315-51, and I need the bios unlocked. Do you think a bios hack would allow the GPU  to be recognized by Windows? If so, what tools would I need to get in order to get this working? If you could send links on where to buy the stuff, that would be a godsent!
(Bios version is insyde corp. v1.03, 5/23/2017)
Please let me know, and thank you!

I have the following laptop and have wired in a bigger maglev bearing fan and am beefing up the heastink with a larger heat pipe unit from another model. I have the Insyde tools and the .fd Bios out of the most recent bios utility from Acer. I also have vars.txt and vars2.txt, I am hoping to activate the overclocking menu and the power states to have fan software control the fan. I want to undervolt it but would like to have an overclock profile as well. I am considering increasing the battery size also. I got the laptop for $100 so I'm more than happy to have everything unlocked if possible even if I might fry it. If some one could help me mod the bios, that would be swell.

I have a very similar device and am planning to hydrocool it as well (parts already on the way). Would you care to share any updates of your project? I would be interested in any info\pics\stats on the subject.

Thanx in advance,
