    Hello. I don't know why I did this, but it looks like there is no way to disable it through the bios. Now at every boot I have to enter this password for my both hdd's, and it's quite annoying. Is there any way to disable/remove this password? :confused:

    Please help :(

    Wow, I disabled it! You have to enter "Change HDD password" in your bios, first type your current password, then leave the filed for a new password just blank and press enter. That's it!
