re: password authentication system Friday, July 21, 2006 at 6:30 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Steve (21652 messages posted) Some Laptops have Bios, or Hard Drive Passwords, that are hard to get around. I don't know about the Dell, but if this what you are facing, the Bios passwords many times need to have a Chip replaced on the motherboard, and on the Hard Drive Passwords, it is easier to just put in a new Hard Drive. If someone has very valuable Data on the Hard Drive, then expensive services are available that can retrieve the Data. I guess they take the Hard Drives apart to replace main Circuit board with a new one to get around the password restriction.
