Muhammad Anas Tahseen Asar,

The forgotten password of a Laptop hard drive, cannot be removed by the user.

While Dell can help you remove the password from the BIOS, Dell can't remove a hard drive password. 

If you need the data on the hard drive you wish to save, you will need to send the drive out to a data recovery service.

You can find more information in this long thread, here:

Regards to the forgotten Administrator's password, see if the following article can help :

If the above does not help, then you would need to reinstall Win 8.1

No, I have the Password both for admin and hard drive but in BIOS there is no option for removing the password. i can change it but the option of removing the password is not showing. Microsoft community says BIOS is not related to windows.

Thanks alot. that was the solution of my problem.

Hy,

I can't see the volumes of my second USB HDD in disk management (windows 7). It was in a DELL Inspiron M5010 laptop, it have a HDD password with very-very important photos, files... I need this files, how can i recovery or see in win 7 explorer? Thanks! 

I know the password, where can I give it for win7?  I won't lose my datas...
Many thanks.

When the hard drive is not recognized, in either disk management, system setup and in [my] computer, this usually indicates the USB HD has failed and cannot be accessed.

This AM, had the same thing happen with a WD Passport external HD, tried using it with three different computers, with the same results. 

Of cause, it was purchased in 2008.
