HDD password recovery...

[lazer00]

Hey guys:)

I'm using dell optiplex 320 machine I need to remove its HDD password? If your concern is that i might be doing some illegal ; Em not i work for a company and this computer guys belong to ex-consultant who has now left.

Are there online utilities that i can use? Previously it had bois password which was easily removed by adjusting the jumper pins. Now i want the whole HDD in readable format.

Could anyone help me with this.

Thanks:)

Is it a hdd password or it's encryption?

If it's a HDD password it's easier to deal with.

Should law enforcement guys / the boss be concerned ?

[lazer00]

Im not here for legal help my company don't want to invest into getting forensics services it just wanna see what their engineers can scoop from the internet.

So could this be done?

[dmarques]

So the answer is yes, it can be done. But I don't think your company techs will be able to do it.
