Just to clarify, this is a laptop not a desktop so only one drive
location, well 2 really but I don't have that installed.
Just plugged the drive into a desktop with a USB cable and was able
to access the data on it with no problem.
I am stating to think that this password is on the drive, not on the
machine. but I am willing to try anything.

Before you a full - low level format:
Consider that if there was a drive level password on the new drive then that
should stop the drive being accessed in any system
Alternatively - if your system is setup with an NTFS partition then you
could have that partition set with a password ( i.e. the partition
encrypted) but as this is a copy of the original, and that didn't need a
password it is not likely to be an encrypted/password protected NTFS
partition
You stated that you could get into the BIOS with both drives installed -
Is it the case that you can 'see' the old drive, and both drives in the
BIOS, but not just the new drive?
Have you got the new drive plugged as a 'slave', or master
and does the system have a CS connector, or a non-differentiated one
