Is there a such thing as that?
I had a HDD that was password protected using the BIOS from an HP laptop. I wasn't able to remove the pwd because the motherboard on that laptop fried. So the laptop screen wasn't working and external video wasn't working either.
Luckily I had another HP of the same model in my office and I was able to remove the pwd by popping that HDD into that good laptop, going into the BIOS and removing the pwd.
Had I not had a laptop of the same model, I don't think I would have been able to recover the data the end user needed from it. Because when you would connect the HDD to another computer via USB adapter, it would ask to reformat the drive.
So I was wondering, is there anything out there that you can use to emulate the BIOS of another computer in order to recover data from a password protected HDD? It would be SO friggin convenient in times like this.
