Apple: cannot access my latitude cause of a password locks it.

Update

The usual solution for a forgotten hard drive password is to replace the drive and reinstall everything. The password and firmware are stored on a chip on the HDD's controller card. This makes it difficult to retrieve. Wiping the chip will leave the drive useless. On some drives you can change the whole controller board which will allow you to use the drive again.

Please just boot into safe mode by holding down the esc key once there you will be able to post to your opsys and you will have admin access to change any password through your command line settings.
