    Lost HDD1/SSD1 password

    I'm wondering about the fact that the password might be stored on both the HDD and a chip on the motherboard. Even if I was to find a way to erase the HDD, password included, would the password stored on this chip still stop me from accessing the HDD??? tough question!!! ASUS Rampage 3...

    Lost HDD1/SSD1 password

    The first thing I did was clear the CMOS and that didn't work. I read online that it's stored on the HDD. The HDD does have the password because I stuck the HDD in my desktop with my other drives and a bubble came up in Windows telling me it's a locked drive. I had also read online that the...
