But how do you unlock the terminal?

terminal unlocked by using vendor specific commands through the interface
it's not the term.echo disable/enable (ED/EE)

Greetings friends

I have a

which is locked by ATA password , following the above explained method faiing as SHT tool is not able to communicate with the HDD , although i am able to see the full log using windows hyper terminal ...

so the pins connection is good , but somehow , this piece of software is not working .. maybe because the HDD family is spinpoint F3 ?

any way i can extract modules using hyper terminal commands ?

thanks

Thanks.

I'll think about it. but probably not. by themselves they are not needed and can be useful only to work with passwords

another part of the work is done.
the opportunity to unlock the drive without using any vsc cmd's from the interface is already being in the terminal
I'm sorry that everything is moving so slowly :)
