Found this for you. This is ONLY if your system is a Toshiba laptop. We used to use them when I worked in a Toshiba certified premier center, doing depot work on Toshiba laptops:

Aside from the KeyDisk, you can build a parallel Loopback plug, this is a simple device that plugs into the parallel port of the machine and removes the password when you boot it up.

To make it you will need a 25 pin DB25 plug, take the plug apart and join these pins using some old cable;
Pins: 1-5-10, 2-11, 3-17, 4-12, 6-16, 7-13, 8-14, 9-15, and 18-25

I recall the build in HDD password. Is this on a Toshiba laptop? The HDD password is defined in the BIOS. If you don’t know it, the only way I know around it for sure is by using the BIOS password blower, a special loopback device that plugs into the parallel port. When you power up, it removes all passwords and resets the BIOS to default. A quick Google search may return some results on that for you though.

After having a low level formatting with Active Kill Disk 4.1, the system restarted & is now asking for ‘Built-in HDD Password’.
What is it?
Whats the password?
