I upgraded the hard drives on my laptop and later sold it. the drives I took out of it were hooked up into another computer and now ask for a password. I never set any password for them when they were in the computer. Dell said that they sometimes get set up during installation of certain media software they install but nothing they suggested helped.
I am hoping that you can link me to a program that will clear or reset the firmware on it so that i can use the hard drive in another computer. It is an Hitachi SATA model# hts722016k9a300 160 Gig.
I have tried 2 different low level format utilities (Didn't work) and at least 3 different firmware programs that said the password had to be resolved before they would work. i dont care about any data, i just want to use the drives.
Please help me, Im going insane over this.
