The notebook has an HDD User hard disk password set, which requires entering the password every time it is turned on, and cannot be used as a removable hard disk. Even in the PE system, using DiskGenius, this hard disk cannot be partitioned and formatted. So how to cancel this password? Let’s learn how to clear the HDD User password of the laptop hard drive.
1. If your laptop is broken, you must replace it with another laptop, replace its hard drive, and install your encrypted hard drive. If your laptop is not broken and it has this encrypted hard drive installed. Then look at the next step.
2. Turn on the notebook and enter the BIOS.
3. Enter the Security tab. The interface may be different for different motherboards, but the items for setting the password should be the same.
4. But you have set a password, that’s it. The difference is that the passwords of HDD Master and HDD User are both black. The previous picture shows the password-less state, that is to say, you have set two passwords: Master and User.
5. After you set the Master password, the BIOS requires you to set the User password. After you set the User password, you must type the User password when the hard disk starts. Therefore, to clear the User password, you actually set the Master password to an empty password. Because the User password cannot be set to empty.
6. Set the Master password to empty (enter the Master password you set in the first line, press the Enter key without entering it in the second line, enter the third line and press the Enter key again), a password prompt will pop up "change have been saved" has been changed and saved, press Enter to confirm, then press F10 to save the settings and exit, OK.
7. After exiting the BIOS, restart the notebook, turn it on, and enter the system.
The above is an introduction to how to clear the HDD User password of a laptop hard drive. I hope it will be helpful to you!
