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.
