I decided to upgrade my hard drive from a 250GB seagate, to a 640GB WD, so i went to the local store and bought a new WD HDD, I took a laptop with two slots for HDD, put my old HDD and the new one, mounted clonezilla live CD and cloned my hard drive (clonezilla said that the job was done at the end) then i took the cloned HDD put it in my computer (for the first time) and the computer asked for a password.
And now i have no idea if the password appeared because of clonezilla or it was already there, i cant find anywhere a "default" password for WD HDDs. So i am totally puzzled and dont know if to go and return the HDD to the store or if there is a simple way to fix this.
Thanks in advance for any help.

"the computer asked for a password" -> Could you take a photo about this and post it?
It's easier for us to understand that.
