Someone gave me a laptop HDD, and when I boot up with it, it says there's a password. I have no idea what it is, neither does the other person. How do I get around this???

If you are reeeeeally desperate to format this HDD, stick it in an external HDD enclosure, plug it into the laptop (with another HDD to boot from, of course ) and see if the OS will pick up the HDD. Then use Partition Magic to reformat.
Now this is very weird thinking here. But something alone these lines might work for you... experement... use your imagination.
