Lenovo G550 BIOS & HDD Both Locked

[Merry Prankster]

Hi everyone!

My neighbour is completely locked out of his Lenovo G550 laptop which has suddenly started asking for both a HDD and a Supervisor password. He doesn't know how this happened, although he has had relatives staying who might have been meddling! The Lenovo site states that he will simply have to fork out for a new mobo and HDD, which seems absolutely ridiculous. I was wondering if the 'Phoenix BIOS Recovery' method would remove the password for him? I realise there are probably risks but at this stage he doesn't have anything to lose.

Cheers for any help.

Hi, cheers for the reply.

I actually saw the first one and was thinking of trying it - will this remove the password though?

Thanks.
