I'm writing a report and I want to place the Acknowledgement page without \section because it will number it 0.1
I tried to place it in another TeX document and use \input in the main document, but it did not work.

Preliminary remark: In the report class, the bibliography will by default be typeset as an unnumbered chapter. If I understand correctly, you do not only want the bibliography to be numbered, but also "downgraded" to a section.
One solution is to selectively change the definition of \thebibliography. Add the following to your preamble:
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\makeatletter
\patchcmd{\thebibliography}{%
\chapter*{\bibname}\@mkboth{\MakeUppercase\bibname}{\MakeUppercase\bibname}}{%
\section{References}}{}{}
\makeatother
In the main document body, just use
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{bibliography}
I left out \cleardoublepage for the sake of consistency (sections do not automatically start a new page).
Package hyperref needs the counter values to generate unique anchor names. But there are counter values that are not unique. For example, you have several sections with number 1.
Because of this, hyperref has introduced \theH<counter> and prefers it over \the<counter> for use in anchor names. \the<counter> might contain weird or duplicate values. As long as \theH<counter> expands to a simple unique string, hyperref is happy.
The following example provides unique definitions for \theHsection:
\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{bookmark}
\bookmarksetup{
numbered,
open
}
\renewcommand*{\thesection}{\arabic{section}}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\chapter{First numbered chapter}
\section{AB}
\section{BC}
\section{DE}
\chapter*{First unnumbered chapter}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{First unnumbered chapter}
\setcounter{section}{0}
\renewcommand*{\theHsection}{chX.\the\value{section}}
\section{FG}
\section{HI}
\section{IJ}
\chapter*{Second unnumbered chapter}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Second unnumbered chapter}
\setcounter{section}{0}
\renewcommand*{\theHsection}{chY.\the\value{section}}
\section{KL}
\section{MN}
\section{NO}
\renewcommand*{\theHsection}{\theHchapter.\the\value{section}}
\chapter{Last numbered chapter}
\section{PQ}
\section{RS}
\section{TU}
\end{document}

You can use the starred version of
\section,\section*, to produced a non-numbered section as in the following example:If you want to add the starred section to the table of contents you will have to replace
