Harddisk Password

Hi, recently my computer was infected by virus. But now when I boot up my laptop, it will prompt me to enter Primary Master HDD user password. I didn't set it in Bios before. I suspect it is set my the virus. How do I recover the password?

I can't access the data in the harddisk anymore, please help!

did you try leaving it blank? If that dont work try admin/admin or administrator/admin or just admin/*blank*

Or you could hack into your computer

or you can reset your bios.

The password is stored in the harddisk, not in the bios. When I put in another harddisk, it is able to boot up.

I email to seagate support, they said it was changed by virus/program. When I email to data recovery company, they say it is harddisk physical damage...

I search thru internet, look like it is very difficult to recover by myself. If really cannot, then I will let the data recovery company suck my money

To Trizoy: It only prompt me to enter password, i did try blank, but not try admin or administrator yet. The harddisk is with data recovery company for evaluation now.

It is not an easy problem to fix unfortunately. The HDD password is stored in the system area that cannot be accessed by normal means.



I know this comany does it, but it might be a bit costly.
