Assuming your Cable TV BOX will lock all drives with the same password as soon as you read config of your WD locked drive you will have the password to unlock the samsung.
WDMarvel - Heads - Edit Config.
Thanks for the quick response!
I thought I could test this on the original WD drive from the tuner. Unfortunately I am not having much luck here, but I might be doing it wrong. Here is what I have tried:
* Fired up WD Marvel and found the WD drive (I had to connect it to an PCI-E extension card since the WD Marvel would not see it if connected to the onboard SATA controllers
* When you say "read module 02" I was trying to use menu "S/A operations" -> "Modules operations (do not read dir)". In the next window I click "Find modules $01-$FF". A progress bar is shown and a few seconds later it says "Looking for modules, found 0". SO I guess either the program does not like my SATA controller or I do this the wrong way.
* You also mentioned "Heads - Edit Config" so I decided to give that a go. That simply returned "Error reading Config"
I have a couple of other SATA cards I can try, but they are old and weird RAID controllers so I don't have too high hopes.
Will post an update if I strike gold.
Thanks!
