HUMAX media center HDD (ST3160215ACE & ST3160212ACE)

[Molly]

I have two hard drives pulled from a HUMAX media center and they have high secutity settings with a user password. I tried SeDIV but it doesnt have these model numbers. I can connect to it via terminal, but since the certificate is missing, I cannot type the commands required for a user pw reset. Is there any other way to breathe life into these babies? The data is not needed.

Okay, here is the first one:

Code:

So far all done .

[Molly]

It's mr. ST3160215ACE

[Molly]

It just gave back the 2> prompt, there was no output.

[Molly]

Looks like some kind of repeating pattern .

[Molly]

I'm here, just tried all the sectors, but basically they output the same pattern with some minor differences at the end. Too bad I have to repower for each attempt.

[Molly]

Btw, you are god! I'll check it out with the other drive meanwhile.

[Molly]

Oh, I've got the nasty bastard .

[Molly]

I don't know if I can post the pass (board rules?), but after the ascii treatmeant the result was some garbled mincemeat. Your method worked like a charm!!!

[Molly]

Damn, life is not easy . On the other drive, I find the sector, overwrite it with the 00 value, write the buffer out, but after reset it reverts back to its original 01 state. In this case, I have to give the pass in hexa format to some hdd util, like HDAT2 or MHDD?
