If a low level format doesn't get it, try using fdisk /mbr and reformatting. This is an (AFAIK) undocumented fdisk switch that can be useful if you have a truly tough virus. It may remove the password. It may not (and may have other unintended consequences that I know nothing about!), but it's worth trying before you decide you're stuck with a paperweight.
