    Hi, i got a laptop on Ebay and it requires a password to access the harddrive itself. So, i was wondering if i can erase everything by a Low level format method? or what else can i do? please help?

    Low level format

    That's pretty drastic, may not help, and may not be needed.

    What OS?

    Do you see the password pretty much as soon as you turn the machine on (so a CMOS password)?
