HDD Pasword set by me.
Hi,
I went into BIOS to change the boot option and like a moron set up a password. Now I can't get rid of it. Not a very big deal........just annoying.

Are you talking about the bios supervisor or user password.?
both can be changed to null by going to the password option and pressing enter
in each of the password set squares.
Of course if you set the supervisor password, it must be entered before you can change
any of the passwords. do this to get to the bios..
Clear?

I did set a master one and a user one. Almost clear.......let me try:)
I went into Bios and this is what I found :
user password-----not installed
master password.....not installed
HDD password.....installed (can not highlight this option to make any changes)
I have never used the hdd password option. I am kind of out of answers if you can't highlight the option for HDD password changes. Is there some option when it asks you for the password for the HDD when you boot?
Or would resetting the bios to zero or reflashing the bios take that password off?
Also, of course I highly recommend that you back up anything on your hard disk before you try any messing with the password or bios.

I recall trying everything to clear the password. I looked at the bios a dozen times without finding the setting. I can't remember which setting finally fixed it, but I finally did. So like me, perhaps you haven't looked hard enough in the bios. Try again and be thorough.
I flashed the bios. That was it. I went to Lenovo's site and downloaded a BIOS update. My thinkpad did the same thing. You can add, but you can't take it off!
