i was given a LG xnote, and when i boot it up it goes to a screen that says "harddisk security", "primary master" and asks for a password which i dont have. and the only other thing on the screen is a prompt saying press esc to bypass harddisk security, and if i hit esc it just goes to a black screen with a little text line in the top left corner. any help would be greatly appreciated!!
 
Solution
Someone gave you a laptop, for xmas, with a password on it. Give me a break. Ask them for the password or bring your stolen laptop into the police so the original owner can get their laptop back.

No one buys someone a laptop for a present, puts a password on it, then doesn't tell them the password.

Give me a break.
