It won't even recognize the emergency install disc(s) Acer asks you to
create using the original pre-installed Win7 OS.
The sysresccd or usb drive is a marvelous idea, but no mention of the
UEFI or EFI boot program (please see

The installed Ubuntu (10 or 11 version) does respond to ctl-alt-F1 but
it asks for a password. I tried a few that I thought might work, but
nothing. Is there a universal password?
And, after booting successfully, the Ubuntu OS asks for a password to
allow me to use the ADSL modem, so I can't connect to the 'Net. I
don't have a liveCD.
The login is your user account, which you set up when you installed Ubuntu.
If you lost your user password, this is the documentation on how to
restore it https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword
This is critical because without a password you can't really do anything
without a liveCD. The info in that link should let you reset it however.
