<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">There isn't much that can be done with a hard drive when a password is set on it unless you know the password. I did find some more detailed information about it here that may be
useful. Its an older post but I suspect the info is still relevant. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve got a situation where one of my patron computers last week booted up with a Security Manager Screen that basically needed a password to boot from the hard drive. We run DeepFreeze on all of the computers. I eventually had to get
another hard drive sent from Dell. Last night 5 more computers displayed the same message. We lock the computers down with policies as well. I have not seen any virus alerts pop up in Symantec. We run Symantec Endpoint. I don’t believe we had the bios
locked down so the only thing I can think of is someone logged into the bios and setup an password on access to the HD which is leaving our machines dead.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Has anyone run across this scenario and is there any easy fixes besides getting a new hard drive and rebuilding the machine. I’m trying to determine if it was a local hack (patron at each machine) or virus.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any help would be appreciated.</p>
