Hello folks,
I customer from me forgot his ATA password and instructed me to bypass/remove it.
It is a Seagate Momentus 5400.3 2,5" SATA HDD.
Unfortunatelly there are some problems:
I tried several hardware plattforms and USB to SATA converters but tools like ATAPWD or MHDD are not able to detect the hard disk.
I also tried under linux the command:
Code:
sudo hdparm --user-master m --security-unlock <Seagate + 25 spaces> /dev/sdg
and also
Code:
sudo hdparm --user-master m --security-unlock $(printf 'Seagate ' | tr '1234567890qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm' '\2-\13\20-\31\36-\46\54-\62') /dev/sdg
but with no success.
What can I also try and why the tools are not able to detect this drive?
greetings
White
