Suddenly my laptop Hard Drive has a password?
I have 2 laptops - the hard drive for one of them is now suddenly asking me for a password.
I never set any password on it -
The only explanation I have is this:
1. I set the BIOS password on one laptop (which has a dual boot)
2. I made a backup image of the Windows OS on an external drive using that dual-booted machine
3. I then installed that backed-up image on the other harddrive using the same machine - and that caused the password....
Bottom line, I don't get much information online due to people being cautious to help remove passwords due to theft but - if there is an obvious thing please let me know b/c this Hard drive has now become a paperweight....
Thanks!!
