How Do I Remove A Set Hdd Password On My Aspire 7720 Laptop?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Normally, the harddisk password set from the laptop's CMOS is HIGH SECURITY.
    HIGH SECURITY password can be unlocked with MASTER(manufacturer password) and USER(user set) password.
    MAX SECURITY password reset with MASTER password will 100% format the drive before it can be used.

    If a laptop harddisk is locked by a password, and you don't know the password...you are in a world of pain.

    If you don't believe me, type "HDD password unlock" into Google and see that I'm not kidding.

    Read the last section of this webpage to understand what I'm talking about :

    www.pwcrack.com

    Under normal circumstances, there is no way anyone can unlock the harddisk and failure to unlock the harddisk = unusable harddisk.

    There is 2 known methods to clear/unlock the harddisk password.
    Sometimes a successfull unlock will clear/format the whole harddisk before you can use it again.

    1) The harddisk's manufacturer.

    Most of the time, even the manufacturer themselves cannot unlock the password and they don't have the master password too.

    2) 3rd party hardware/software unlocker.

    Hardware unlocker like Rockbox or software unlocker like AF-F Repair Station could possibly unlock & remove the password, but you have to PAY.
