Hi,

 

is this a boot password that's stored in the BIOS? Or some kind of
encryption on the hard drive?

 

Does clearing the CMOS jumper on the motherboard remove the password? I
wouldn't think you have to replace the hard drive to clear a BIOS boot
password, all that should be required is clearing the CMOS jumper pins on
the motherboard.unless were talking about some kind of hard drive boot
encryption set with a password?
