Hdd password (by 8 users)

What is HDD Password? All hard disk drives have the possibility to set a hardware password, thus making the drive completely inaccessible unless a correct password is provided during the BIOS POST test. When you set a password on your notebook, the drive becomes locked as well. XBox gaming consoles and some desktop computers can also lock hard disk drives. This is usually called "HDD password" or "ATA password".

If you forget the original HDD password, there is no way of restoring it by generic system tools. HDD Unlock Wizard incorporates proprietary unlocking algorithms which allow to remove an unknown HDD password and make hard drive usable again.

I have a software enable to reset the password security on your harddriver but you need to pay my professional charge. If sound interested please email diazphi@gmail.com.

Please rate me solved if you like my solution.

There is no solution at all to decrypt password of your beloved hard drive.

If you change to a new Hard drive then you will be fine. But make sure you aren't confusing hard drive password and Bios password.
I have not seen but one Hard Drive passworded in 15 years of fooling with PCs.
Lastly, since it would still be stored most likely on the drive you could try one of the stronger drive managers and redo the Master Boot Record. Loosing all data on it at the time, but possibly regaining the drive. Nothing to loose at this point.

So What Happens if a change the hard disk
