I have manage to unlock the password of any HDD if its compatible with the BIOS error code master password generator.
I tried many tools for the Phoenix Bios and no luck. This is were I found my discovery.
I have a Acer Aspire One with InsydeH20 Bios version 3.50 if I can recall. I found a way to unlock the password of any drive that the HDD ATA password was stored with this certain BIOS.
Whats needed,
Hiren BootCD (usb preferably) 14.0 with BIOS 'Master password Generator'.
http://www.hirensbootcd.org/download/
The program is only visible if you run and load the HBCD Menu in Mini Windows XP under the password section.
Here you will get a command prompt, were you will enter '7' for InsydeH2O bios. Then it will ask you for the 8 digit code Hash / error code thats given when you insert the wrong password 3 times, and try to unlock it with 'Unlock' in the menu . It will tell you to insert the master password and give you a 8 digit Key.
Then, your master password will be given to you. The funny thing is that I noticed once you unlock the drive or a drive that did not unlock, it will give you a new Error Code for the bios.
If you where never able to unlock it, and removed the drive 100 hundred times and inserted it back, it will still generate the same HASH code.
This will work with this 'InsydeH2O Bios' 10 out of 10 times, IF YOU HAVE THE PC/LAPTOP and THE DRIVE THAT WAS LOCKED BY InsydeH2O.
Once the master password is inserted, it will erase any security on the drive by the BIOS.
I still have not tried a two different PC/Laptops with Insyde H2O to see if they are interchangeable and unlock-able.
You all might be wondering, What if you do not know what BIOS installed the lock, and tried to unlock it with InsydeH2O? This guy is nuts, password is stored in platters not bios, or is it?
Well for the grand finale, I have a Seagate Momentus 7200.2 Family, and it locked with an ATA password not under MAX. It was locked with Phoenix Bios with my Gateway laptop.
So I tried to unlock it with InsydeH2O, and I get passed the HDD password screen and then I get a 'Not a Boot-able Disk error'. I have tried many combinations with MHHD, ATAPWD, and Hiren BOOTCD, to try to unlock manually with software but no luck.
I do not know if its the Phoenix BIOS security, or what but I can let you know that IF you have a Laptop that is listed with the 'Bios master password generator' and it was locked with your current laptop or PC. You should try the generator. You might get lucky with your own dell/HP or any other manufactures Bios. Phoenix Bios did not work in my case from the selection.
If you all do not trust me, I will create a video on youtube very soon and post it here. I have finally beat the HDD companies!
If your having trouble with BIOS password for Phoenix BIOS , 10 out of 10 times this works.

If your computer is HP Elitebook and have you forgotten HP Elitebook password, bios or administrator account password? How to do if both of them lost? It seems hard though there may be lots of ways that can solve it. But if we talk about it separately, such as in two parts, HP Elitebook password reset would be not so difficult.
Part 1: How to Reset Forgotten HP Elitebook BIOS Password?
Generally, there are two ways to reset forgotten BIOS password. One is forcing BIOS/CMOS to reset itself to its stored defaults by removing all power from it. The other is to use a program to either locate or identify the password, and reveal it to you or erasing the password clearly.
And the most easiest and convenient method for erasing dynamic BIOS/CMOS settings is to remove battery directly from the motherboard. However, it applies to most motherboards besides HP Elitebook BIOS. Fortunately, HP Elitebook based on UEFI Bios provides a tool to reset BIOS password specially – HP SpareKey.
What's HP SpareKey?
HP SpareKey is a utility that helps you, or the administrator of the computer, recover lost system passwords, such as the power-on, drive lock, or BIOS passwords. When setting up the SpareKey, you are prompted to provide answers for a sequence of three predetermined personal identification questions.
How to reset BIOS password with SpareKey?
- Step 1: Before forgot BIOS password, you have set answers to three predetermined personal identification questions.
- Step 2: Write down the answers to these questions and put them in a safe place, away from the computer, so that you can always access them.
- Step 3: When you cannot remember the password to access the BIOS on your computer, turn on the computer and immediately press the ESC key to display the Startup Menu. And then press the F7 key.
- Step 4: HP SpareKey wizard pops up and prompts you for the answers to the three personal identification questions. If you successfully answer the questions, you are granted access and you can reset the password. (The picture is from https://support.hp.com.)(The picture is from https://support.hp.com.)
If you do not answer the questions correctly in the three attempts, you will be locked out of your computer. And then you must contact HP for assistance.
Note: HP SpareKey cannot help you recover Windows 7 or Vista administrator account password. It is intended solely to recover system-level passwords. So if you have problems about HP administrator password reset , go on to see Part 2.
Part 2: How to Recover HP Elitebook Administrator Password?
Since HP SpareKey couldn't reset HP Windows 7 administrator password, we have to think of other ways to recover HP Elitebook administrator password. For example, restore HP Elitebook to factory settings or reset HP Elitebook Windows login password with Windows Password Genius.
Method 1: Reset HP Elitebook Password by Factory Reset
This method will tell you how to restore factory settings in Computer Setup.
- 1. Turn on or restart the computer, and then press ESC when message is displayed at the button of the screen. Message: Press the ESC key for Startup Menu
- 2. Press F10 to enter computer setup.
- 3. Use a pointing device or the arrow keys to select File Restore Defaults.
- 4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
- 5. To save your changes and exit, click the Save icon in the lower-left corner of the screen, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
Surely, this method can reset HP administrator password, but HP laptop data would be lost after restoring HP laptop to factory settings. So it is not recommended unless you don't have another method.
Method 2: Recover HP Elitebook Password with Safe Windows Password Genius
Compared to method 1, this method is safer and more effective for HP Elitebook password reset. If you decide to use Windows Password Genius, you should prepare a blank and bootable USB flash drive or CD/DVD-ROM, and accessible computer before resetting HP password.
Step 1: Download and install Windows Password Genius Advanced version.
Step 2: Create a password boot USB disk or CD/DVD with Windows Password Genius Advanced.
Step 3: Boot HP Elitebook laptop from USB or CD/DVD ROM device by pressing F9.
