After mainboard replace will my HDD with password work on TECRA S11?

I hope my local service center will replace my TECRA mainboard (later I will tell why). Will my HDD with password protection work and my fingerprint encrypted files accessible after a mainboard CPU replace?

Will Windows 7 Pro boot in after this main "upgrade"/ replace?
(I have read the thread about similar Tecra S5 issue, pls do not link that closed thread)

Hi

Usually the HDD password should work after the motherboard replacement.
The point is that the HDD password is stored in a special area of the HDD and it should not be a matter that motherboard has been replaced.

I found this info in Toshiba knowledge base:
TOSHIBA HDD Password summary

What is A HDD Password?

Hope this helps!
