UNLOCKED HD WITH MHDD NO LONGER UNLOCKED?

[cnr0616]

I used MHDD to unlock my 20GB WDC hard drive using the master password, XBOXSCENE, then I use the command DISPWD to remove the password permantly. It seemed to work until I rebooted. Now the hard drive is locked, and the original master password does not work. I have tried WDCWDC.....up to 32 characters, TEAMASSEMBLY, what am I doing wrong? Is it locked again, is there a usual password MHDD locks with?

In case this helps someone else, I had the same problem and figured out how to unlock the drive. See here: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=8374&p=253488#p253488
