Seagate ST9320327AS 320GB FDE USB Drive

[agent007]

Received this Seagate 320GB FDE USB portable drive, the owner has somehow forgotten his password. Owner want to get back his data from the drive. Would like to check if there's any way I can unlock the drive with a master password?

Can't remember your password?
There is no way to recover your password, if you lose it.
You can ask for your password hint to help you remember your password, as long as you originally created a password hint.
If you still can't remember your password, the only way to regain access to your Pocket Warrior drive is to KeyErase it. This will erase ALL of your files and allow you to reset your password.

Once you KeyErase your Pocket Warrior drive, there is no way to recover your files (even by using a data recovery service). Only do this as a last resort!

This is Wyatt drive, DOM around year of 2009-2010. The flash chip "25U426A" doesn't look like a normal Winbond flash chip. Not sure if the percentage of the recovery is high if I'm cross-swapping the "25U426A" chip?

FWIW, the flash memory appears to be an LE25FU426A originally made by Sanyo (now acquired by ON Semiconductor).

One IC broker lists it as "LE25FU426AFNS02TLM-H SEAGATE".

I can't see how this would help with your problem, though.

Thanks for the reply Frank. I know the recovery chances are very slim. How about re-format and recover through EaseUS and Recova? I'd done that for the conventional but yet to try with the FDE encrypted drive.

If you re-format it, you definatly lost the data.
