> You set the HDD password in BIOS. If you know the password you can go into most BIOS setups and disable it. If you don’t know it you can call the manufacturer of the laptop, considering the HDD is the OEM HDD that came with the laptop, and they will give you manufacturer bipass password that reset the HDD password completely. I know because i’ve done it a million times.

OK will give this a shot, thank you.
