why hdd locked suddenly without someone lock it and i have pc3k plz what to do

Have you tried unlocking it with your PC3000? What kind of drive? How do you know it's locked.

If you want help, you'll have to supply a lot more details.

salam alekm tests of heads gives errors in head 3 and 5 the hdd is locked with master password its wd 1600guc0 when i make unlock with pc3k gives error message freeze locked

Dear Friend, what brand of your hard disk? use SalvationDATA products.

just reset pwd using Pc3k .

Could also try HDDRock - had some success recently.

whats hdd rock ?

I've heard of it recently. Is it any good? Can you actually brute force most drives quickly?

If the drive's on the Supported Drive List, yes, it'll unlock very quickly.

If it's not on the list, you can create a custom word and/or character set to try and brute-force the password. That will obviously take much longer

Like any tool, HDDRock should be part of an arsenal of weapons. There is a supported list (as with any tool) to make some actions easier, but brute force is often theonly way insome cases.

bruteforce with 32 characters would take a month .

what about disk freezing. after limited numbers of try.

Hi,

AFAIK after 3 bad tries the drive needs a power cycle. This will make the process take an eternity

pepe, a correction: after 5 bad times hard drive needs a hardware reset (or a power cycle, which is much longer but not really needed in this situation)
