I retrieved a Toshiba hard drive in good condition and functional but locked with a password that I do not have, so I don’t know how to proceed to be able to use it. Therefore, I am asking for your help. Thank you.

When does the password appear?
Is the drive external or internal?
Laptop or desktop?

Hi,

Ask the previous owner for the password.
We won't be able to do anything for you.

  The problem is that I found the hard drive with the PC in the street.

Hello,

if you don't have the password, forget any idea of bypassing it.
The hard drives are very well protected, fortunately...

In addition to the thank you (yes, indeed, it happens!!!), remember to mark it as resolved. Thank you.

  No idea.
  If the content doesn't interest you, try instead of asking the question, you'll save time.
  
  PS: I just read your previous post.
  DID IT NOT OCCUR TO YOU TO TAKE IT TO LOST AND FOUND OR THE POLICE STATION????
  The owner surely has files that matter to him. Maybe photos of great sentimental value.
  Such behavior is beyond me.
  To be a thief for so little. You shame me!!!

  Even files that have been worked on for several months or more.
  A very important thing for him and his company.

  It's a person who got rid of it, you're right to say it like that, it will be sorted out. I asked before taking it because this person put several things in front of their house and was getting rid of them, so thank you for not making remarks when you don't know.
