November 28th, 2010, 1:16

hello new to this, got a laptop and got stuck with Hitachi HDD with password, Model HTS543225L9SA00, 5K320-250. I had to remove it and install a small HDD. It is currently a paperweight if I can't get help to get pass the password. I saw others have encounter same problem. Any help is appreciated.

Again : there are pay per use services who can unlock or unlock and erase the drive over the internet, or either you have to buy dedicated equipment , or - last option - get pro intervention. You may be asked to sign an agreement or give proof of ownership as there are - at least here but more or less everywhere - serious legal issues . Sorry.
