Lenovo FW has additional protection, I don't think free tools would serve much help

You might need to get "normal" main ROM code and move all CPs from your ROM to the "unlocked" ROM if special "Lenovo" ROM main code is preventing the use of VSCs. Then you need to send the VSC to regen the "S" sector on platter or as alternative read/write that sector by PBA...

No free sollution. Most likely there will never be a free sollution for this unless the VSC that is used to regen "S" somehow does work on your drive even with "Lenovo" firmware ....



ok,
is it possible if i read the rom with mine programmer to see the password encrypted somewhere in de dump?

In fact it's much easier....

I don't think so. I have repaired a lot of Lenovo drives - no one locked.
Anyway. When one door is closed, another one is left open...

When somebody ask you to unlock his drive what do you do? Mail him VSC's or ask him to send you the drive?

If you have the original laptop, does this mean that the [unhashed] HDD password is known and that you are needing to circumvent the password because the laptop is dead? If so, have you tried the HDD in another Lenovo laptop?

No i dont have this laptop anymore, and no i dont know the password. i bought this laptop long time ago with bios and hdd password, the bios password i could read it with special software and removed it (See picture of dump)
the hdd password is the same i think with the bios password
