Try removing the battery on the motherboard for 5 mins while the computer is disconnected from power in order to reset it to default. That "should" remove any security that may have been added in error.

As your post has been up for nearly two hours, spentshells, I'll leave it here but in the normal way it would have been removed for potentially assisting someone effectively hack into another person's data.

The right advice to give in these circumstances is to call in a professional who will seek proof of ownership or the relevant machine and login before facilitating access to the hard disk.

Thanks to the posters who reported this - data protection is essential these days.

You can't always assume the worst, but I fully understand.
