Hi,

Somebody has put a password on one of the disks on a computer, i cannot access the bios or boot menu as it prompts for the HDD password first. This is NOT a BIOS password, i put a different HDD in the computer which worked fine and put the passworded drive in a different computer and it still prompts, so its clear this is something stored on the actual drive. How can i remove the password, it doesnt matter if the drive has to be wiped as everything on it is backed up, i just need to get it working again.

Drive is a WD3200AAKS and the password was put on it on a Dell Optiplex 760.

Thanks.
