System Switch
If you have enabled the Password on Boot field and you forget the supervisor password, you will not be able to 
boot up the computer. The same thing applies if you  forget an HDD password. Your Aspire notebook has a 
hardware dip switch (SW1) for clearing  lost system passwords. Go to page 18 for instructions on how to use 
this dip switch.
