computer lock

[PupCamper]

My mother- in- law has locked her computer. There was never a password set
up when the computer was set up, so there is no password or password disk.
The computer is asking for a password to allow access. Is there any way to
reset the computer short of reinstalling the OS. The computer is an Acer and
didn't come with an OS disk. I have an OS disk, but am not sure I can use it.
