Hi,

I have a T40 with Fujitsu HDD. I had the same Power-on and HDD passwords. One fine morning it stopped accepting my PW. I got the Power-on PW disabled, after that it started asking for my HDD PW which I remember but it it didn't accept it.

Now I need to only get my data and don't care about the disk itself. Can anybody please help. I have been reading the postings here but I don't know which one applies to me. Can anybody PLEASE HELP?

Adnan.

Are you in any relation with this user? You should know better that Bob is right, a Thinkpad T40 cannot lock the drive by itself.

If you tried all the pwds you set then there's only one conlusion:
That is not your drive, maybe somebody replaced it or maybe not, but that is for sure the answear to the question.
Eighter way, to recover the data is nonsens, if is not your drive is not your data in there.
