Win magic Data Security Removal.
Yesterday I bought a laptop from the market. They were like giving electronics at very high discounts. I saw a Toshiba Laptop there decided to buy that. The laptop was password protected with "WinMagic Data Security". The person told me that this security issue will be resolved once I install a fresh windows in Laptop. But since I have brought the laptop home, I have tried installing Windows several times but always ended unsuccessfully. I am unable to install a new windows and that Security thing is still there, asking me to enter the user id and password.
I cannot return the laptop. It was sold clearly on No Exchange/Return Policy.
Please someone help me out here.
Please.....
Thanks.

@benjamen50 you have any idea?

The hard drive has been encrypted with SecureDoc, the only fix is a password and key. This is more then likely a laptop that belonged to a business. MOST businesses either remove or wipe hard drives before they go out for sale, or a refurbisher.

But I don't have a password, niehter did the person had who sold me.
So I was being fooled when he said that Windows Installation will resolve the issue....

@lscs yes this is a laptop as stated earlier.
Just a question* You said Businesses either remove or wipe out hard drives before they go out for sale. SO WHY WOULD ANYONE BUY SUCH LAPTOPS IF THEY CANNOT BE USED??
