Hello,
I have a HP Pavilion xt236. I bought a hard drive from a friend and put it in my laptop. I did not have DriveLock enabled. Nor did I have any BIOS password(s) set up. So, I installed a fresh copy of XP Pro on the new drive. It boot strait into Windows perfectly...installed drivers, the whole nine. The problem is when I flashed the BIOS (Phoenix) with the correct updated *.ROM for the xt236 and rebooted, the new drive had DriveLock enabled by default.
With that said, how would I have even know what the HDD DriveLock password would/could be?!!?!? Crazy huh?!?!
Is there a hash code that is viewable via a function key (F10 or something) when I am prompted to enter the drive lock password?!?!?
I do have the hdd_pw.exe application but without a hdd hash code, it is useless.
Any help would be great!
Jason
