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.

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