Acer aspire one AOA 110 Bios Problem

Hi all

I am having problems with my AOA 110...
I recently update dthe BIOS to 3309 and ever since i can't access the BIOS anymore.
I get the normal screen prompt to press F2 but when i do it asks for a password ?

I never had a password before ?

Does anyone have any ideas ?

Thanks

Flash the bios again with a copy from Acer.

 

The bios file i used came from the acer European site ?

 

Acer Aspire One BIOS Recovery

The Acer Aspire One has a built-in BIOS recovery routine, which can boot into a minimal BIOS environment via a special boot block to re-flash the BIOS, even if the system does not pass POST and does otherwise not boot anymore. This procedure is also known as Crisis Disk.

First format an USB flash drive with FAT. It does not need to be bootable.

Download the latest BIOS, and extract all files. Put both FLASHIT.EXE and the BIOS file with FD suffix in the root directory of the flash drive. The files must not be in a folder. Rename the BIOS file to ZG5IA32.FD before proceeding. It only works with this exact filename.

Turn the AA1 off, and verify both battery and AC adapter are plugged in.

Press Fn and Esc simultaneously, keep them pressed and press the power button. Release Fn+Esc after a few seconds. The power button starts blinking at this point. Press it once. The AA1 will now access the files on the flash drive and initiate flashing the BIOS. After a while the power button stops blinking, and the AA1 reboots by itself. Wait patiently.

If it doesn't reboot, but keeps blinking, wait at least a few minutes before turning it off, and try again.
