Hello, a friend gived to me for free a HDD Seagate ST320LT023-1AF142 2.5", the HDD is password protected, if i put it in laptop will ask me for password, i don't know what type of password is it, Master or User, i tried to remove the password with Victoria HDD Tool and "Seagate" + 25 spaces but doesn't works...

I found a tutorial here viewtopic.php?f=1&t=27063 but i don't know if it works on 2.5"

Have anyone some ideas how i can check what kind of password protected is and how i remove it?

Thank you very much

Hi !

You can start by asking the password to your friend.

If he can't remember it, you can take the drive to a data recovery center and ask them to unlock it (and pay).

Your drive is a Momentus 7200.4 so it's F3 arch. You can't unlock it the same way you would unlock a barracuda. What you can do is buy a TTL adaptor, connect the drive to it and attempt to run a Moltke ZOC script to unlock the drive or at least get the password.

Hi !

You can buy for example this one :

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1pcs-CP2102-USB ... 6530wt_936

Or this one :

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1pcs-USB-2-0-TT ... 7112wt_934

Those are USB 2.0 and should do the job without any issues, as long as you follow the guide.

Regards.
