How do i unlock my hard drive

Sorry, you can't get at the data if you've forgotten the password. Even if we did know a way to get at this data, we would not be obliged to tell you for we have no idea who you are. You could b trying to steal information from someone hard drive for all we know. So long story short, we do not provide help when it comes to password hacking on the toms hardware forums.

If the drive is encrypted, you're pretty much out of luck. If it's a Windows password you've forgotten, there are ways to break in, but I'm not going to share them.

If your data is of no value, and if the master password is still at its default factory setting, then an ATA Secure Erase will recover your drive.
