I am trying to crack the HDD password in a Dell Inspiron Mini 10. The service tag does not have the four-character suffix that all of the online password crackers seem to require.

Here's what I see upon HDD password failure:

Hdd password error code
[09922]
System Service Tag Code
[FVVMHJ1]

I can get to the BIOS configuration. There I can see:

Fixed HDD: Hitachi HTS541040G9SA00-(PM)
HDD Master ID: MPBBP0X2J6XEEM

None of these numbers seems to fit the format of the online BIOS password cracker that most people recommend, although I WAS able to use that password cracker to clear the main BIOS password.

I understand that even if I could clear the CMOS with a jumper, it won't remove the HDD password. I also understand that if I swap out the hard drive, the new drive will inherit the old drive's password.

Any help with the HDD password?
