I NEED A BOOT DISK......

Hallow every one.

I just had topic about called "I cant`t get in to my bios...... " and it did not turn to any thing.
So I try again with "I NEED A BOOT DISK".
My problem is still that I cant get into my bios. After installing a ZORIN OS 9 Ultimate on a Acer Aspire E1-571 Laptop witch had a Win 8 OS in the beginning. In some wearied way the Zorin installation made a PASSWORD FOR THE BIOS and I can`t get in.

The CURRENT SECURITY POLICY blocks every bootable thing I have.
- THE f*** current security policy came from the ZORIN installation.

So......
Since there are BOOT DISK`s for Windows and Mac`s there has to be one for Linux to, I figure.

I forgot to mention that I have encrypted the Zorin installation.

As you hopefully understand I have tried every thing. The only thing that I`am avoiding is to open the laptop.
But if there`s no other way..........

OK, encrypting during installation is a bad idea. Absolutely no way can Zorin put a password on the BIOS - it is more likely that you did not have your BIOS protected when running Windows 8 or you have a machine owned by someone else! ;)
