Drivelock hdd bay password

There seems to be a solution but it involves loosing all your data. It involves removing the drive to another computer, formatting it and uninstalling then reinstalling the firmware. Any solutions I've read about remain the same.

CLEAR CMOS IS EASYEST WAY.

USB external hard drive cases are supplied with SATA and power connectors attached to the circuit board in the case. If you canot connect it to the SATA hard drive then you may have the wrong drive case, your case may be a IDE or SCSI type.

TRY RUNNING KILLDISK ON THE DRIVE

Tell the Windows Install to DELETE the current partition.
Then, tell it to create a new partition, and it will use the entire 160GB.

Password protection the same idea send it back to the manufacturer or use the correct password and then delete it from the device

Hi Mandevilleti,

I know how you feel as my HP pavilion has had the same blue screen ansking for the 'drivelock multibay password' . the good news is i have fixed it just 5 mins ago.

I think that you have to get into the bios first. Lets see if I can show you how I helped it to boot up:

1. at the blue screen I pressed the F10 Key which took me into setup
2. i then selected the security tab
3. and then I think I selected drivelock password
4. and then selected the "Notebook hard drive" item where I tried to disable, with no success
   
   PLEASE NOTE: at this point I noticed that each time that i tried to disable the password it kept returning to the item 'Notebook hard drive' . I thought to myself that maybe this is the password and not just an item on the list, so I carefully wrote down .. Notebook hard drive .. taking note of capitalization and spaces and then exited setup.
5. I then noticed that there was nowhere to enter the password so i carefully typed .. Notebook hard drive .. onto the keyboard, and waited. After about 1 min a small 'OK' appeared inside the blue box and my heart leaped for joy inside my chest.
6. I waited... and a black screen apeared with the wite cursor blinking
7. and I waited... this time about 5 mins passed and then windows started to load. Thank God!

I hope you get some joy out of this post and it's not too late for your notebook.

kind regards

hello,

Will your NX6110 allow you to get into the Bios before the drive lock password coes up? If it doesnt and you dont know the password, you have two options. One being to send the laptop off somewhere to get the password an pay thru the nose. The other is just to buy another hard drive and re-load your system. Those passwords are build into the hard drives and there is really no way to get the password easily. You could of course pay for a machine that will hopefully get your password, but why pay all that money just to use it once, or twice. It comes down to the facts of how importand is the data on your hard drive?
