Why don't you just format it, Dave? :)

*smacks Evan in the head*
The password is there to protect the data. You cant format it with the password enabled :(

If I was a tech and didnt try that already, I would like suck or something.... :D

Nope, I need a program or hack to remove it...

if u know linux there are lots of good prog's that can test username:password combos....I think all u need to do is put the HD in as a slave on another machine and test away.... there's a couple for win32 but there more for "testing" ISS servers and networks..... but they still should work localy on a slave drive cause the windows password format is basically the same... pm me for more info....

Hehe that IBM one is a bad one. You can send it to IBM and they will reset it or just buy another HD.
