Lenovo laptop HDD locked/Sata port 0 locked, insydeh20 bios locked, can't go to boot selection(it brings me to the HDD prompt password again). help!

Sorry, you're hosed. If you forgot your HDD password the only thing you can do is replace the drive and rebuild your S110. There is no way to remove or reset it without using the original password in the original motherboard. Period.
If you're misinterpreting the screen information and it happens to be the bios user password that's forgotten it is possible to have an authorized Lenovo repair center reset it with adequate proof of ownership. Lenovo themselves will not do it. If it's the SVP password for the bios the only solution is to replace the motherboard. Period.

Having passwords that can be reset like in the old days just by jumpering 2 wires defeats the purpose of having a password in the first place.

I have not use my Lenovo s10 4333 in about one year. I forgot the password. I would like to open with a new password.

Welcome to Fixya

If you are referring with the windows password. You cannot retrieve the old password if you already forgot it. One way for you to be able to use the computer again is to restore it from the factory state. Turn off the computer then press the small button located right beside the power button. This will restore the computer back to factory state. Once the computer is restored, you can now type in whatever password you want.

Please let me know if you have further questions.

Thank you for using Fixya!

Is this a BIOS password? If so, read below...

Problem: I forgot my password.

You must take your computer to a Lenovo authorized servicer or a marketing representative to have the hard disk drive replaced. Proof of purchase is required, and a fee will be charged for parts and service. If you forgot your supervisor password, Lenovo can not reset your password. You must take your computer to a Lenovo authorized servicer or a marketing representative to have the system board replaced.

Which is a problem, to say the least.

If it's a Windows password, you can only reset the password by logging in with the Administrator account. This is more problematical with Vista because then Vista might lock out some files after the reset. Good luck.
