I have a Acer Aspire one 7222 Notebook with Win 10. I usually have been using it as a backup whenever my desktop gives me a hard time, so its over 7 years old, and its been a dam good notebook. My problem started a couple of days ago when i tried to enter my Bios for the first time after all these years and clicked on F2 as suggested. I could not get in. So i googled and was told to go through all the steps to get to advance option. I do get there and then i am 'stung' by telling me to go to my uefi firmware and click on that. I do not even know if this computer's bios was uefi being that old, maybe that is why i didn't see it. Somehow i got to the point where its asking me for my password. It would not accept it and yet it always got me into my notebook. It keeps telling me Fail, try again. I recalled an older password and entered that to no success, and now i am stuck with a black screen and a stationary cursor at the top left of the screen. I can't believe that not getting jnto my Bios is going to mean the end of this Notebook. There has got to be a way to get back into Win 10 with all my backups files and folders.
 
What are u talking about ...a disk??? I did not mention anything about a disk. Anyway i got back into win 10, by the Gods. As for the Bios, I still can't get in if and when i need to make changes.
