Please clarify. Are you referring to the ATA password for a HDD?
If yes... this is not actually a common feature. While there is limited support from some manufacturers... it's just not that common. I sure wouldn't base the quality of a board solely on the inclusion of this feature.
It you want encryption, and are using windows use Bitlocker.
If you have a drive you have locked for whatever reason and want to attempt unlock and recovery, use a Ubuntu Live DVD v12.10 is current
GParted and the terminal utility can help you beat a locked drive into submission.
