Hi

I am surprised Gateway would offer to try to fix boot up password by remote access as you can't boot up until you enter the hard disk password

You could try persuading the jokers who set the password to tell you what it is
Bribery or torture may work (if legal in your country only joking )

There are a limited number of people or businesses who can fix this problem and keep your data intact . (People working in forensic data recovery & examination)


The other option is to force a ATA 'wipe hard drive and then clear password' command.

You would need a set of windows disks and loose all your data.
Both option require removing hard disk from the laptop
