[ale] Hitachi Laptop HDD locked?

[Robert.L.Harris at rdlg.net (Robert L. Harris)]

  Someone borrowed a laptop HDD at work and put a password on the drive.  
He claims he didn't but the laptop requires it now.  Anyone know a way to
wipe the password (and data if needed) to make the drive usable again?
Google doesn't have any decent hits, or I'm sucking on the search skills
today.

:wq!
