How to unlock all the achievements

I used to play Mass Effect (1) in the past, and gotten nearly all achievements - which was nice for my second playthrough, since unlike many other video game achievements, those actually give you something. Now I want to play the game again, but I since got a new PC and I have a feeling it won't remember what I had. I don't have the data from the old PC anymore, so essentially I'm asking for a way to cheat.

Is there a way to unlock some, or all, of those achievements? I'm playing it on the PC.

If it makes any difference, the last time I played was without Steam, but now I'm going to play with it.

Solution 1:

Found a solution here. In summary:

1. Enable the console
2. Go to My Documents\Bioware\Mass Effect\Config
3. Open the BIOInput.ini file with a text editor
4. Under the [Engine.Console], add the ConsoleKey=Tilde line
5. Unlock achievements
6. Start the game
7. Open the in-game console by hitting the ` key
8. Type unlockachievement n where n is a number between 1 and 47. They will unlock the achievement with that number. The site I linked has a full mapping between the number and the achievement, but I just went through and enabled them all.

Solution 2:

Go to <my documents>\BioWare and you should find a sub folder called Mass Effect (and others in case you've played the other games).

Just copy that folder to the same position on your new PC/hard drive and you should keep your progress as-is. In case you're playing over Origin, Origin might do the actual copying for you over the cloud (not sure it's supported for Mass Effect).
