Hi, I have 500gb seagate hdd in my TV decoder (it's my property now), and there's a password on it (security mode: Max).
How can I break a password/full format this HDD, to use it in my PC? When I connect it to PC, it stops responding.
I read several topics about unlocking, but I would like to ask here also.
Thanks!

Another passsword reset request
As you realise until the password is removed you wont be able to format it.
Problem is that anyone who helps you circumvent the passward could end up carrying out a criminal offence if it was found out later that the drive didnt belong to you. As their is no way for us to validate ownership then responses will be few.
Best advice is to take it to your local dr company, prove ownership & pay their fee to unlock it.
It shouldnt cost to much.
