Seagate 750 Gig hard drive security locked!! Help!

[Moondog2010]

I upgraded one of my computers from XP pro SP2 to Vista Home Premium and my Seagate 750 GB hard drive does not show up anymore in My Computer! Bios shows it but the partitions dont show up. And Seagate tools says its Security Freeze Locked! How do I go about unlocking it?

Thanks for any help!

Thanks for the info. Too bad the part where the boot cd is is in German!
