Do you want to preserve your data?

If not, and if the master password is set to default, then it may be possible to Secure Erase the drive:

Otherwise, if your data are important, then the 5-digit HDD Error Code needs to be input into Acer's proprietary password unlocking software. You'll probably find his software on the Internet.
