On the mainboard near the coin battery you'll find a jumper. take it off and reboot. Replace it and reboot again. that works sometimes. If not you can go to the motherboards' BIOS like Phoenix and they have backdoors built in. Read on:
Backdoor passwords Many BIOS manufacturers have provided backdoor passwords that can be used to access the BIOS setup in the event you have lost your password. These passwords are case sensitive, so you may wish to try a variety of combinations. Keep in mind that the key associated to "_" in the US keyboard corresponds to "?" in some European keyboards. Laptops typically have better BIOS security than desktop systems, and we are not aware of any backdoor passwords that will work with name brand laptops.
WARNING: Some BIOS configurations will lock you out of the system completely if you type in an incorrect password more than 3 times. Read your manufacturers documentation for the BIOS setting before you begin typing in passwords

If you happen to forgot windows logon password, you can get into safe mode (F8 when booting up) to reset windows password when you forgot user account password, but when you forgot admin password, there's no way to change it, you should use a software application to recover admin password. A week ago, I forgot my Windows admin password. Last, I used Windows Password Seeker to reset the Windows password successfully. It's worth trying.

When I lost my windows password, I like to reset Windows Password with Windows Password Reset 9.0 and I think it is excellent and professional! Once the password is removed, there is no need to type any passwords but to leave it blank, and click the user name to instantly log on Windows.

PRIMARY MASTER TOSHIBA MK1652GSX LOCK

If your hard drive is locked you're out of luck. I'm not calling you a thief, but 99% of the time when you encounter a computer that has a password on the hard drive and the person in possession of the computer does not know the password, the computer is stolen. Hard Drive passwords are put on to keep thieves from getting to sensitive data.

My friend got me a lenovo notebook s10-2.but as I press the start butten it shows primary master lock ST9160314AS

The previous owner of the Lenovo put a "password" onto the disk-drive, to "lock-out" all other persons, including a THIEF. Ask your friend for the password.

Or, remove the disk-drive, and buy a replacement disk-drive, and re-install Windows.

After boot, appears ENTER PRIMARY MASTER HDD USER Password i need the password @ solution to boot up my lappy... thanks

How Do I Change the Primary Master HDD User Password?

Prior to loading an operating system, your computer will first execute the BIOS program. The BIOS has an extra password feature, called the hard disk drive (HDD) user password, that can't be bypassed and provides a layer of defense to keep your data secure. To change an existing HDD user password you will have to load the BIOS menu, which is only accessible during the computer's operating system reboot procedure.

Instructions

1. Close any windows that are currently open on your computer. Eject any discs inserted into the optical drive and disconnect any peripheral USB devices.

2. Open the "Start" menu and select "Shut Down." Turn on your computer once the operating system finishes shutting down.

3. Press the key your computer uses to load the BIOS menu. For example, with Dell computers tap "F2" when the "Press F2 for Setup" option appears. Press the "Access IBM" key on IBM laptops or "F10" on HP desktops.

4. Navigate to the BIOS tab that contains the HDD password option, which will usually be the "Security" tab. Some computer manufactures instead include the password option in the "Advanced" tab.

5. Scroll down to the option labeled either "User Password" or "BIOS lock" and hit "Enter." Type the current master HDD user password when the prompt appears and press "Enter."

6. Input a new HDD user password and hit "Enter" again. Navigate to the BIOS tab labeled "Exit" or something similar.

7. Move over to the "Save and Exit" entry and press "Enter." Select "Yes" and tap "Enter."

Acer 5315 recon harddisc security password required

Hello,

Bad news, someone has set the hard drive security option. The hard drive is hardware locked and can't be unlocked without the password. Not even putting the hard drive in another machine will bypass the security. You can send the drive to hitachi repair in Dallas, Tx. for recovery but it is very pricey.
