TechSupport CF-19 supervisor password removal (I HAVE PASSWORD)

Long story short, I installed oem tpm software, need supervisor password set, I set it, now I'm just making sure that I can remove it. Keep in mind, I literally have the password, and can't find any guide on how to remove it if you know the password.

This user guide tells you about removing Supervisor passwords

You also have the ability to lock your hard drive so it is unreadable if it doesn’t see the password. I moved the hard drive between 2CF 19‘s and when I took it out of the Password protected hard drive one and put it in the other f-19 it said “do you want to format this drive” so it did not even know there was a hard drive with Data even in it but as soon as I put a password in the second one, then I was able to read that hard drive when I started it up. I didn’t try to read it with a USB adapter so I don’t know if it’s truly invisible.
