When I first purchased my laptop I secured my laptop with two BIOS passwords, but time took it's toll on my memory and I only remembered one of them.

Two years later and my BIOS decided to clear the passwords but there was a security feature that locked my hard drive. Is there any way of removing the lock? I don't mind if the data will be destroyed but it would be nice if I could retrieve it.

Right after the BIOS boot screen, there's a HD error so I'm not able to fdisk or format.
 
Hmm... I'm not totally sure what your problem is. I've never seen a bios with an option for two passwords, or an option for a drive password... Could you tell us exactly what's coming up, what the bios says the passwords are for, and such?
