Hello,
Unit was brought in by the customer to locate 19vdc
power pack. It probably needs a battery as well.
Anyway I located an adapter, laptop powers up fine,
but prompts "Input HDD Password" while booting.
I tried resetting the CMOS by unhooking the battery
located under keyboard to no avail. Is this password
coded directly into the hard drive, then linked to
CMOS?
If anyone knows a workaround, or of a utility to
remove
the password please let me know. By the way it's a IBM
6.0GB, 2.5" drive
