I tried starting up my old Acer 5736z-4016 Notebook and it wont boot because its asking for a Bios level boot password i never set. I know how to reset it on my desktop but ive never had to reset it on a laptop, do i have to pull the whole thing apart to pull the cmos battery or is there an easier way to clear that boot password

I thought there would be a very small pin hole on the bottom with reset next to it. My Acer 5733z did.
