Lost Hard Drive Password?

[meeks87]

I recently had the uberintelligent idea of making a hard drive password on my dell inspiron 6000 notebook. i put in the password i made and it is telling me its incorrect. does anyone know of a master password or a way to bypass the password so i can remove it. any help would be appreciated.

if you are sure that the password is correct, have you tried using upper and lower case ?

ive tried it in every combination of upper case and lower case i can think of.
