Hi Gauravmaroo,
Welcome to the Community. You will need to call Dell Technical Support in your region, and verify ownership of the system to get the HDD password.
Thank you

The hard drive password, once lost cannot be recovered. If you don't need the data on the drive, it's cheapest just to replace the hard drive.
If you do need the data on the drive, there are data recovery services that can use specialized equipment to remove the password - the cost will run $100 or more and they'll insist on verification of ownership (two: drivesavers.com and nortek.on.ca ).
