Comment:

Hey, I have a ThinkPad 600E that I would like to pull the
hard drive from for use in another computer. But before I
can do this, I have to remove the password on the hard
drive that I set in my BIOS. I know what the password is
for the hard drive, I just don't know how to remove it (I
know all the passwords on my ThinkPad)

Does anybody know?
Thanks
