Internal HDD-0 password recovery after data wipe
Inspiron 15 3567
I was performing a fresh installation of Linux Mint. Following a tutorial on YouTube, I created a bootable USB and accessed the BIOS setup. Then I encountered a prompt from the Dell Security Manager requesting the Internal HDD-0 password. I hadn't set any password previously. I contacted Dell support, but they informed me that they couldn't assist me since my laptop is over 5 years old. I believe this issue arose because I wiped the data as per the YouTube tutorial. Now, I'm unsure about what to do. Please help me.

This forum thread may help and I suspect that the Dell BIOS set the password as stated in the link I supplied. Also have a look at this MS forum page.
