As far as I know there is no way to remove the password on a CF-30MK3. One of our forum members "Rusty" did but he had to remove / replace the chip with a new one.

Locked CF-30's are MK3 with the AMI encrypted bios. No work around yet found :blowaway:

Good luck...been there...done that . :damnit:

The ones you bought, is anything disabled. I was lucky , every thing works fine. Touchscreen needs some work but it's OK.

I know that a mk3 drive works in a mk2. The hardware is not very different
