I use "EID" command,and it display:

opsss thats a big thing to forget Better to put it back in your laptop and try to remeber some key words you may have used. Other than that you can make it into a nice coaster for your tea/coffe cup

I remember the password,and I confirm that it is "qqqqqq".
I ever access the disk by the password.
but one day, I installed the disk to another computer, entered the password and could not access the disk,and then I reintall the disk to my notebook by which I set the ATA password.but, I also can't access the disk by the password.
So I want to remove the password.Can you tell me What can I do?

do not forget that passwords are 32 symbols ALL THE TIME

if you entered "qqq" it will probably be replaced by "qqq+29 spaces" or something
