SOURCE: Is there a way of fixing this

Hard drive passwords are embedded in the firmware of the drive itself. You need to try to find out what the password was.
If you put in a new drive, that drive will not contain the password routine. It is the physical drive that is password protected, not the system.

There is an article about this at this site.

Dear Friend,

You need to update your BIOS driver. You can achieved this by visiting your computer manufacture website and look for support center then, in the download section you should find the BIOS driver. Make sure you follow all the required steps to do this.

Good Luck!

Forgotton hdd password on Toshiba satalite oro a210

you could try this,,,Others have been able to change the password in BIOS. Found this:

1. The HDD password cannot be removed using Security Assist.
2. Using SETUP BIOS (i.e. start machine; Hold Esc; Press F1), Tab to the HDD Password section which should be displayed as follows:
HDD Password
HDD = Built-in HDD
HDD Password Mode = USER Only
User Password = Registered
3. Tab to the "User Password" field and simply enter the old password and then a new one twice (once to verify) as one would do normally. If you don't want a password, just press "enter" twice

This is from a factory repair and maintenance manual for Acer Aspire Laptops. It may work for you.

When the user keys in the wrong password three times, an error message appears. The user must now reset
the password.
1. Make a note of the error code that is displayed with the error message.
2. Run unlock6.exe from the DOS prompt in the following format:
unlock6 XXXXX 00
(XXXXX = HDD password error code, 00 = CRC base - default is 00)
3. Select Upper case ACSII Code from the screen that appears. The HDD master password is displayed.
Make a note of this password.
4. Reset your system. When the Enter Primary Master HDD User Password prompt appears, enter the
password you made a note of in step 3.
