There are too approaches to fix this, reload the operational system from scratch, remember to set the boot order to start the cd/dvd driver first. If that is not a option go to www.ebay.com and www.download.com and type hard drive password.
Wow, why don't you know the password? I'm not calling you a thief, but 99% of the time when you encounter a computer that has a lock on the hard drive and the person in possession of the computer does not know the password, the computer is stolen. The original owner puts a lock on it to keep thieves from getting to sensitive data.
My drive became locked with a password or I forgot my hard drive password. How do I gain access to my data?
Answers from Hitachi : Unfortunately, there is no way to bypass the security password feature of Hitachi hard disk drives. If the password is not known or has been misplaced, Hitachi will not be able to assist in gaining access to the data on the drive.
Bad news, someone has set the hard drive security option. The hard drive is hardware locked and can't be unlocked without the password. Not even putting the hard drive in another machine will bypass the security. You can send the drive to hitachi repair in Dallas, Tx. for recovery but it is very pricey.
