[jakenito]

Hi there,

i have a 2.5 Ide Hitachi C25N080ATMR04-0, FW: MO4OAD4A that is locked by password that i cant find which it its, at Vitoria program it shows: This drive locked by ATA password!
Can anyone help me to solve this problem? I saw someone working with MHDD to find some binary file from a Western Digital hd which can has the encrypted password, but i want to know if its possible to do the same with this hitachi hd?

Thanks in advance!

Don't mix those problems.
If your hitachi locked with ata pass , it doesn't relate to wd encryption issue. And i doubt it just locked with user pass especially when you don't know it. Most probably, it has damaged SA area.

Thanks for your information, in fact i found it has master password protection, its that bad?
Sorry, i am new at this, can you explain to me what is damaged SA area?
I guess that is less to do about this, could you know any solution to my problem?
Thanks again mate.
