My Sisters Laptop was stolen and when she finally did get it back the Bios was pass-worded so I removed the Bios battery and that let me get a step farther but stops me now asking for a HDD password. If I bought a new HDD will it install and run fine, from what I read the Bios and the HDD are written on with the HDD password and I hate to buy and install a new HDD and have it pass-worded also?

if you cleared the cmos password then the 1 on the hd is windows password. can you get into safemode & go into administrator & remove the password there?

Findout what kind of laptop it is. The BIOS on some laptops can not be reset by removing the battery, you actually need to shortout the eeprom.

below is more info for you concerning a locked hard drive.
