[SOLVED] HP 6005 SFF

HP Compaq 6005 Pro Small Form Factor

Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I have NEVER set a password on my system for boot or anything else. But a couple of days ago I started getting a drivelock message when booting.

I did not have a bios password but doing research I found that you could use the bios password as a way to get past the drivelock. So I went into the bios and set a password. Everything is ok, the drive unlocks and all is good.

So I went back into the bios and went to Security > Drivelock to try to clear it. It allowed me to change the drivelock password and turn off drivelock. All was good, or so I thought. I got a message saying drivelock settings could not be changed.

So that is where I am at. I can get past drivelock by using the bios password that I set. But the biggest problem is I have not been in the bios on this system for at least a year. So I am not sure how the hell a drivelock password got set to begin with.

Does anyone have any ideas about 1- How this happened 2- What I can do to disable drivelock?

Thanks for reading
Jim
