The issue with that is that you may end up with your new drive locked too. In some of the newer systems this is a feature built into the drive and usually you can't cart it over to another computer. I was able to cheat with my harddrive in my old lappy and plug it into an identical one and use software to retrieve the pass acquired from the people at the link below

try the preset passes from the link here
