unknown power-up password

[CamMill]

Unknown power-on password = no access, even to bios (del, f2, esc., etc....) . HDD removed and used as extern on 2nd pc = no driveletter or access !!

cloned hdd mounted : no result - power-on pw needed and..... this ssd also blocked and unreadable !!

Hopeless ??

Could anyone help please ?

What are you trying to do -- Login or recover data from the drive?

Hallo  and thanks already for your reply,

When I start up my desktop, the only little blue screen I see is where my START-UP PASSWORD is requested. I I wonder how this is happening. I never used a (bios ?) password whatsoever. So, after 3 (wrong) inputs, nothing moves anymore !!!???

No tab combinations for accessing the bios, no error code, simply nothing !!??

I'm only interested in recovering both the (original) hdd and a clone copy of my other pc which also isn't accessible since I swithed the built-in hdd.

So, 'only' (hm, hm) the bios password is missing, but i'm afraid getting this  would be a miracle ?
