Hy,

 

After a reset bios security to factory default (don't ask why!), the passowrd for hp drive encryption login before starting windows is not accepted in winmagic secure bootloader process. I tried to use the sparekey  but the result is the same. I don't have a recovery key - i didn't create it when i configure HDD encryption. I know, big mistake.

 

Currently, i'm not able to start windows or to repair/install a fresh windows using a boot stick (because drive is locked).

 

What can i do now?

 

And about data from locked HDD?????

 

 

With best consideration,

 

Marian Lupan
