Hi everyone, i was living on forums for the past 3 days and i wasn't able to find a solution to my problem.
My problem is similar to http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2238823/hdd-locked-partedmagic.html
I had to erase data on my hdd using parted magic secure erase ( i left passwoord field blank [Stupidity from my side] ). Now it's asking for password when i start up my pc, right after bios. I've tryed NULL, left it blank, and i tryed to use algoritm calculation to translate ''denied hach serial number'' - Nothing works.
When i go into bios i can see my harddrive - hitachi sata drive, but if i boot into parted magic it's not visible at all, so i can't repeat a process.
I've tryed running fdisk -l thrue command line, without success.
I'm not able to make changes from SATA to IDE in bios neather.
I've tryed Dban eraser, but it doesnt recognize hdd as well.
I have not tryed connecting hd to another laptop to test what happens since i have no apportunity to do so. I'm starting to consider to buy a new HDD, but i'm not sure if i will be still asked of hdd user password.
If there is an issue regardless ownership of this laptop - proof can be provided.
I will greatly appreciate time spended helping me.
