forever0donotknowme Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 (edited) Hi, Does there are any solutions for this problem. Edited July 20, 2015 by Tripredacus title, removed tag
bphlpt Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 In other words: (my own interpretation of the problem) "I have acquired an Acer s680g computer, with BIOS version P01-B0. but the hard drive is locked and I don't know the password. Is there any way around this so I can either access the existing content, or at least reformat the drive and use it in a new install?" Do I have that right? Cheers and Regards 1
dencorso Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 Why it is I get the impression that computer fell off the back of a truck?
forever0donotknowme Posted July 19, 2015 Author Posted July 19, 2015 Maybe there is software that remove hard disk password. I removed bettry, jumb in bios, but problem is still.
jaclaz Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 Maybe there is software that remove hard disk password. Maybe. The point might be if that is a BIOS password or a hard disk password (ATA password).If it is a BIOS password, the contents of the disk are likely encrypted and/or any other hard disk replacing the one currently in the machine won't be accessible.It is possible (but not very likely) that a procedure to remove the password exists, but (it depends on specific make/model) as an example a number of laptops use a dedicated chip to it, and the chip needs to be replaced (by de-soldering it and replacing it weith a "blank" one).If it is an ATA password, depending on make/model of the hard disk and the security level of the password it may be possible to reset it (keeping the data in the hard disk) or remove it (losing all data in the hard disk). jaclaz
