Your drive isn't locked by ATA Password. It's a logical problem in the file system.
You'll need to download a recovery program like (R-Studio) or similar and clone your drive then work on the image to retrieve your data.

Good luck.

You need a sector by sector clone like hdclone.

why not try some data salvage software which would help you to regain lost data from the failed hard drive. i am not fully sure it would work for your case, but i have used such software services with good success and helped me to be all smiles again.
