hard disk password
Does anyone know if there is a way to remove a hard disk ( not power on )
password? I have a friend with a 760C computer with a 720MB hard disk.
He sent his machine in to be serviced, and it came back with the hard
disk password on it. When he called back the service organization they
told him that the did NOT put the password on the drive, and there is no
way to remove it.
Our guess is that they put the wrong drive back in the machine when they
replaced the mother board. We cannot confirm this hypothisis without
removing the password. The service company has sent him a new drive, but
there are files on the old one that he wants back ( I know he should have
backed it up before sending it in ).
Any help would be appreciated. He does have his proff of purchase, and I
am sure that the service organization ( IBM' finest apparently ) can
confirm the foul up.
