SAMSUNG ATA PASSWORD

July 31st, 2020, 6:50

Hello, sorry if I posted in the wrong place.

My hard disk is now in an external enclosure and victoria software says This drive locked by ATA password!
Below is the details displayed on victoria. Is there any way I can remove the password without spending $$$$.

I am sure there is a procedure I can follow....
Thanks in Advance!

1. Send SuperOn command
2. Send "Clear PWD" command
3. Power Off/On
