Drivelock / HDD Master PW
I'm working on a friend's HP laptop that he just got from his mother... she hasn't used it in quite awhile and forgot the PW needed to boot the computer... now, replacing the HD doesn't work, so I'm guessing the PW is saved in the BIOS... is there any solution to this problem? I guess I'm willing to find an HP dealer/distributor, if that's what it's gonna take, but I'm just looking for something a little faster, hopefully....

you can try removing the cmos battery for a minute or two, that should clear it, I'm not up on laptop design so I couldn't tell you how to get to it. you could try looking online for the manual and see if that gives you some idea
