You paid for a stolen device :\ You have to implement a new OS around a USB stick, or buy an outmost DVD expostulate and put a windows front in to it.
Know better? Leave your own answer in a comments!

Does the password prompt appear in Windows or immediately when you turn the computer on? (Is it in a pretty window or a monochrome (2 color) window?
If it is a Windows user prompt, ask an IT professional to use a SAM cracker on it or reinstall the OS.
If it is monochrome, this is a BIOS prompt and can be reset by resetting the BIOS. (usually involves a jumper on the motherboard)
most pawn shops do not buy stolen goods – why they loose their liciense to sell
all modern comps have a recovery system —google acer system recovery or if your brave and think it is not tolen call acer/support give serial # and service tag # and buy a disc
better check your shop and don’t throw away the ticket
if it was stolen –By Law The pawn shop has to REFUND your your money !!!!!!!!!!
