Hi there,
I have locked WD2500BEVS-22USTO and I need help with 22.bin-file, because I can't find the password. I have tried to find the answer from other threads how to read the 22.bin-file (made with "M0RBI0US" MHDD insructions), but I don't understand where password starts and ends. If someone would tell me password start and end offset from my 22.bin-file I would be pleased. Thanks.

You'll need to follow these instructions for entering the password into mhdd:

If you convert the hex into decimal
You can then hold down the ALT-GR key, then on the numeric keypad type the decimal code (3 digits pad with 00s), and it will give you the asc character for that number
so the master password was:
14 24 16 17 2D 31 05 02 (hex)
which decimal is
20 36 22 23 45 49 5 2
so I held alt-gr and typed 020 036 022 023 045 049 005 002 (
you need to release the alt-gr key after each 3 digits typed)
drive unlocked!

Replacing of course your password. You can use any online hex to dec converter. Just make sure you convert each double digit hex value on its own. If you try to type in the whole string of numbers at once, you'll get the wrong result.
Your password in hex may be:
32 00 20 00 55 ff 00 01
In decimal:
050 000 032 000 085 255 000 001

Not right one, I tried to unlock as user and master but doesn't work....

Abispac, you need to get the right version of MHDD. Do a search and you will find what you need.

this topic has already gone beyond tolerance
Such info should not be publicly available. And once it is, I agree with you , use your brain.

I share your annoyance.
I haven't read the whole thread, but if you are ready to give up, why not buy a second HD of the same model and same firmware version. Then run the MHDD script against it, and save the BINs. Next create your own passwords, eg MASTERPWD and USERPWD. Run the MHDD script again and compare the BINs. That should tell you where the passwords are located and how they are encoded, if applicable.
In Windows you could use the File Compare command in a DOS window:
fc /b old.bin new.bin
If the passwords are plain text, then all is well. If not, then experiment by comparing passwords such as AAAA against BBBB, and so on.
Good luck.
