I have a dell inspiron 5010N Laptop. my child put a hard disk password on it and then forget the password. It has Samsung 320Gb hdd. Details of the hdd are:

Make: SAMSUNG
Capacity: 320 Gb
Serial No: S2ANJDRZB04697
Model: HM320HHJ

I want to ask is there any way to get it functional although the data is not important

ThankYou

CHILD----> Son

as far as i remember in Dell laptops

when you enter wrong pass. few times, it shows something similar to this

depends on model, not sure...

Anyway, i can unlock it, but with proof that you own it. same as other brands CAN BE DONE..

good luck

@Spildit Yes the drive is locked I attach it to other system.
I am willing to pay but how much because if the amount is greater then the price of a new hdd then i will go for new one because there is no valuable data in it.

@einstein9 What type of proof I have to provide.
