Data recovery and disk repair questions and discussions related to old-fashioned SATA, SAS, SCSI, IDE, MFM hard drives - any type of storage device that has moving parts

Hello everyone.
I've recently tried to get the 42.bin file from a hard drive in order to get the user ATA password off it.
I believe the hard drive could be faulty too.
I got an error when running the script:
; rm modul id 42
reset
waitnbsy
regs = $57 $44 $43 $00 $00 $a0 $8a
waitnbsy
regs = $00 $02 $00 $00 $0F $E0 $21
waitnbsy
checkdrq
sectorsto = 42.bin
<<-----------------ERROR OCCURS HERE.
; END
There is no exported 42.bin file on my floppy either.
However, I have found a way to view the contents of my hard drive in hex without MHDD.
It gives me the full lot and I have no idea where to start looking for my user PW, or if it even exists on the surface because I have no idea what ATA terminal and 42.bin is getting data from.
Does anyone know exactly what 42.bin is looking at on a hard drive exactly?
And how I would manually locate it?
Or provide me with a working script?
