Dell Inspiron 5559 Security Wipe hard disks

Dell Inspiron 5559 Security Wipe hard disks

​Hi,​

​I tried to wipe my Dell Inspiron 5559 from the Bios menu.​

​In the BIOS menu I found a hard disk wipe option. I selected it to wipe hard disk during the next boot so that I could re install freshly onto the wiped disk.​

​On next boot the wiping begun but now system is asking for old password which was not set or entered in BIOS. Can anyone help to resolve this issue. ​

Remove the drive from the system and go into setup -- is there a password set there for the drive (F2 at powerup)?
