i am lock out of my laptop itis askin for a hdd password

you have applied an hdd password on hard disk...which gives u this problem only one option just gotta cool n reminds abt it...else you have to contact ur........manufacturure

You need to double-check the HDD password & ensure that you are entering the correct one in the password field or try to ask anyone else that shares the machine with you in case someone else had setup an HDD password. If you are unable find the password, you may have a paperweight on your hands, hopefully that not that's the case. Jabbering Idiots: Everywhere You Look!

Is this a laptop or desktop that you password protected the hard drive? Most laptops once there is a password and the user can not remember it becomes as stated earlier a paperweight. The BIOS encrypts the drive and inexpensive recovery centers are unable to access the data. Richard

Well.....I suppose it could be done , is the data worth more than the $100 or so to get it done ?.......Are you sure It's never been reported stolen ? http://www.pwcrack.com/harddisk.shtml You have to post to them . ...........................

I had this problem with my Acer laptop. I sent it in under warranty. They told me the drive was bad and sometimes they do that when they go bad. Jesus Loves You! Keyboard not detected. Hit F1 to Continue. BREAKFAST.SYS HALTED Cerial port not Responding!!
