How to safely dispose of a computer

Because if you aren't booting to this particular hard drive you don't need a password to access the data. I do this all the time when hard drives crash that have passwords for login. You slave the drive to another system, take ownership of folders/files and you can access whatever you want.

Cell phones are a different animal. Sort of like comparing apples to oranges. Basically better security trying to access data on a phone with a password then trying to access a hard drive.

I don't really have anything on my Hard Drive of concern if it was accessed by someone else. I always tell the computer to not store my banking card numbers and type it in each time when I go to the Bank's web site plus there is also the banking password. Is the bank card number and password still stored on the Hard Drive anyways ?
