having problem in removing password of a Western Digital Hard disk of 80 GB. from a desktop of dell 520, password was put on that HDD. now i forgot that password.

tried on other systems too but unable to open it. bios detects drive, and from windows 7 i do computer manage from storge/ disk management it also show drive but unable to format or partition it.

what can be done to get data back?
