Hi! I have an Acer Travelmate 5744 (Motherboard model: BIC50)
Actually yesterday I opened its bios and under the security tab, I activated some supervisor password, but the problem is that I forgot the password.
Now the result is that, the laptop turns on and Windows boots up. I can do anything in Windows but when I try to open the BIOS SETUP during startup, it asks for password. When I try to enter the wrong password then it displays "SYSTEM HALTED" message and screen becomes blank and laptop freezes.
I tried everything. I tried Clearing CMOS, flash the new bios in windows and dos mode. But it is still locked. I read about SPIPG Flash Programmer here:

I did everything as described and now i can erase my bios ic by connecting it to my PC throught LPT Port, but now i need to write new bios on erased bios ic. The problem is that, Acer provides bios file "BA52V107.fd" which is in .fd file extension. I need to convert this file to .bin extension so that i can write it. Please tell me how to convert it?
