there are few companies where they can unlock it for you online but you have to pay few $$ for that
download the software/install and connect your drive and buy credit and go on

Here people are giving answers without first asking the right questions!!!

For example......

1) What is the drive model?

2) Was the drive locked in a laptop using the bios security system as in a Dell? And do you still have the same laptop?

3) Or is the drive an external model?

4) If data is not important you could try this: http://cmrr.ucsd.edu/people/Hughes/SecureErase.shtml

Different scenarios might have less complicated methods to unlock, especially for an end user.

Try using the PC3000 tools, it has a utility that removes passwords,

Maybe if the OP had PC3000 wouldn't ask....

Just as a thought........

If you know the password you would not need MHDD script. If it is YOUR drive you should not be asking HOW to unlock it.

So I think.... Most people who ask are not the original owners of the locked laptop drive..............

Lets add

1: "How to pick locks"
2: Starters guide to stealing wallets
3: "How I made it BIG doing bank jobs"
