put it in a brown papper bag, with an apple or a banna peel. It will ripen faster.

The best and quickest way to ripen anything - and I do it with avocados all the time - is to put it in a paper bag with a couple of bananas.
Ethylene gas is a natural by-product given off by fruit, but especially bananas, which speeds up the ripening process.
So if you don't like your bananas too ripe and spotty, you'd better separate them in the fruit bowl, and/or put them around some unripe avocados...:)

Put it inside a paper bag and leave it at room temperature. It should ripen within a day.

The brown paper bag works. I have heard that if you put an apple with the avocados in the bag, they will ripen even faster, but I haven't tested that.

Put them in a warm place. They will ripen very quickly that way. BTW I love guacamole!!!

Wrap in a towel then place in paper bag and put in a drawer.

Set them in the sun, or put them in a brown paper bag overnight. That should do the trick.

I have no idea but my daughter says the paper bag thing mentioned by others works great.
