An ex employee has put a HDD lock on one of our ThinkPads, he says he forgets (won't tell us) the p/w, we think if we low level format the drive it will fix our dilema but we need to know how to get over the boot problem asking for the p/w, is there a key sequence to boot straight from floppy? the current boot sequence is FDD-CD-HDD and we don't care about data because we have all sales and info on our office system anyway. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

This company can remove the HDD password http://www.onlink.net/nortek/hdd_pw.html#HDD. You need to be owner of the system.
