    if youre talking about the BIOS password though thats an easy one... but for the sake of legalnessness, what need you to bypass a BIOS password for? As Jager so aptly put it, do we know this is your machine?

    Did you even read any of the links? Also, is it just the BIOS password you need to reset, or is the actual hard disk locked (encrypted in some way)? Hard drive encryption methods are usually pretty good, and unlocking will need the actual password. Reseting a BIOS password is generally simple, but depends on the motherboard. Consult the manual for how to do it. I'm assuming this is actually yours and you have access to the manual.

    Obviously then you should contact the seller and ask him for the password.... Buying a HD online, that is password locked when you recieve it should start alarm bells ringing..

    I think DarkJager has given you good advice. i.e. Contact the seller.

    Contact the seller. If no luck there, contact ebay and paypal about dodgy goods you've received.
