All the Acer models are similar in requiring a UEFI password and setting trust on grub/ubuntu efi boot files.

Acer Very latest UEFI/BIOS works, downgrade not required:

In addition to the advice above:
You have a Haswell processor which is much better supported in 16.04. I suggest that you begin with this in stead of 14.04.
