First thing I just want to apologize for this because this topic of mine is out of topic but I'm just hoping that someone will help me or give recommendation to help me with this problem.


OS: Zorin OS Lite 6
Netbook model: Samsung NP-N148-DP03PH
S/N: HJDA93AB800258F
HDD: Samsung HM321HI-(S1)
BIOS: Phoenix SecureCore ™ Setup Utility
BIOS version: 01GU
MICOM Version: 01GU


So here's the problem, because I am so curious about this and I tried to put a 'HDD Password' on BIOS on my Netbook and now I mess everything I can't boot up and I am really mad at my self I'm such an idiot ;( because I created this problem and I can't use my netbook anymore. I really feel so hopeless, I tried everything like using a 'Live disk' etc, but still I can't boot because it will always ask for HDD password ;(

and when entering an Invalid password three times, this will come out, but when I restart the netbook(turning it off and on) it will again ask for the HDD password.

I really need help guys ;(

Hi tech27,

what you need to do is reset the master jumper, use at your own risk:
