password is for a built-in hard disk drive.The thing is that I don't remmember setting a password.So when I did go to change my user password and supervisor password I decided to set a password for the hdd.But it prompted me to enter current password,so I entered my usuall password and it didn't work so I tried a few more times and then it locked.So now it won't even boot up.Can you help.Thanks

If this is a computer on a business network, your Admin can help. Please start by calling your Service Desk.

If this is a personal computer, please call your manufacturer. They should be able to help you.

This site is a place of IT professionals who have no way to validate who you are or if your question is reasonable. As a matter of habit, we do not provide assistance to anyone wanting to circumvent a password as such advice would not be ethical.

The best of luck to you!
