ATA HDD Password
Any one know how to remove/recover?
I just got a job lot of HDD's are a few of them are password protected. Formatting in windows/dos/Linux just falls over. <<Was worth a try I knew it wouldn't work before I started. I have tried to flash the FW with several different revisions which failed and i have tried to run a whole bunch of programs with no success. Been on this now since 5pm and I am giving up

Re: ATA HDD Password
I was under the impression it couldn't be done - but probably ********. Scan the net for tools. I've unlocked one before with a tool but it wasn't a 'supervisor password' I don't think.

Re: ATA HDD Password
Google the partnumbers, you can usually find technical manuals on them.

Re: ATA HDD Password
I used to have an external Low Lever Formatting device. No os or software. Just pug it in and press a button. An hour later (depending on capacity) the disc was clean. If the encryption occurs in the FW, then you may need a service code to be able to rewrite the firmware in which case will probably be cheaper to get another drive.
