HDD Bay Drivelock Passsword

Hi Rob,

I know how you feel as my HP pavilion has had the same blue screen ansking for the 'drivelock multibay password' . the good news is i have fixed it just 5 mins ago.

I agree with lucky4lynn2 that you have to get into the bios first. Lets see if I can show you how I helped it to boot up:

1. at the blue screen I pressed the F10 Key which took me into setup
2. i then selected the security tab
3. and then I think I selected drivelock password
4. and then selected the "Notebook hard drive" item where I tried to disable, with no success
   
   PLEASE NOTE ROB: at this point I noticed that each time that i tried to disable the password it kept returning to the item 'Notebook hard drive' . I thought to myself that maybe this is the password and not just an item on the list, so I carefully wrote down .. Notebook hard drive .. taking note of capitalization and spaces and then exited setup.
5. I then noticed that there was nowhere to enter the password so i carefully typed .. Notebook hard drive .. onto the keyboard, and waited. After about 1 min a small 'OK' appeared inside the blue box and my heart leaped for joy inside my chest.
6. I waited... and a black screen apeared with the wite cursor blinking
7. and I waited... this time about 5 mins passed and then windows started to load. Thank God!

Drivelock HDD bay password for nc 6120

Apparently the bios can set this lock itself under certain crashes - H released a bios update to address the issue and stop it happening - but that doesnt help if it has already happened to you - http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&objectID=c00737398

Hello, Can you get into the BIOS by pressing F2 at boot? If you can get into bios, click on SECURITY and from there Deactivate the HDD Lock Feature.
