How did you end up getting the password ?

Password received THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Look for an 01 07 byte pair. The password is in the following 32 bytes and is padded with zeros. It will be encoded in ASCII if it was generated from application software. Otherwise, if it was generated via BIOS, such as in a laptop, then it will be encoded as keyboard scan codes.

Here are the keyboard scan codes for my MS wireless keyboard:
http://www.users.on.net/~fzabkar/MSKeyLog.TXT

Use the "make" codes when decoding your password bytes.

This simple DOS utility will echo the make and break scan codes of each keypress:
http://www.users.on.net/~fzabkar/SCAN.COM

Have you ever thought why the BIOS setup menu is restricted to Fn keys and cursor control keys, eg PgUp, PgDown, Home, End, Del, arrow keys, Space, Enter, Alt, Esc, Ctrl? I believe it's because BIOS has no way of knowing which international keyboard layout is in use, so it needs to use those keys which are universal. These universal keys have consistent scan codes.

Similarly, when you set a HDD password via BIOS, the scan codes of each key are used rather than their ASCII values. I think of scan codes as key numbers. For example, a particular key on a 101-key US keyboard may be key #30 with an ASCII value of 65 (an "A"), whereas the same key on a Japanese keyboard would have a different ASCII value, although its scan code would still be the same. To think of it in another way, imagine how you would identify a particular key if all the key tops were blank.

Note that if you have set the password via BIOS in a laptop, say, and you then attach the drive to a different machine, eg a Windows desktop, you will then need to send the password bytes via a file. If you try sending the password as ASCII codes, then the password challenge will fail.

A possible Windows solution would be an application such as Victoria for Windows. A DOS solution would be MHDD.

Hi all
i need help..........
i have tried for many days to unlock/remove password on my wd scorpio hdd 80Gb with no success
tried default passwords ......... none of those works
cant use atapwd because this hdd doesn't print an error code when entering wrong passwds
managed to run dump script on mhdd and tried to read the passwd but no chance with it
converted also bit per bit from hex to dec but this also doesn't work cuz i have an "08" value that delete the previous one

here is the dump

Is the drive installed in a laptop? USB enclosure?

How are you entering the password? BIOS or application software?

Hi,
can anyone tell me what wrong with my drive?
I attach the hex dump using victoria.

You have only attached one BIN file. The password appears to be in a subsequent BIN.

can u help me plz ? i spent epic time on it

@ulotar,

Your data appear to be the 512-byte information block returned by the drive in response to an ATA Identify Device command.

For example, you can see the following information in byte-swapped format:

Model - WDC WD5000AVVS-63M8B0
Firmware - 01.00A01
Serial Number - WD-WCAVnnnnnnnn

Instead of the above, you need to analyse the BIN files that are retrieved from the drive when using the MHDD script described early in this thread.

FYI, there are two words (92 and 128) that report the drive's current security status. AIUI, the Master Password Identifier is normally set to 0xFFFE if no password has ever been set. IIUC, yours has been set once.

Word 92 - 0xFFFD - Master Password Identifier

Word 128 - 0x0127 - Security locked, enabled, supported, not frozen, Security count not expired, Enhanced security erase supported, Master Password Capability = Maximum

New to forum and have scanned all of it. I downloaded both 4.5 and 4.6 of mdhh. I copied the sample.mba and created a new "unlock.mba" but when I ran "Batch" then entered "unlock" I get file can't be opened. So, what is the trick to writing the batch script file?

ps sory for english and i teach how start script

Hi, all i manage to extract 22.bin using the previous 22 scripts.
By the way 4.6 got bug that won't allow all scripts to run.
Use the attached 4.5 MHDD from previous-previous page.
HDD that got bad sector can't run 22 scripts.
Already try it but i don't know what the master password is...anybody can help to find the pwd?
WD1600BEVT(lenovo netbook hdd)
I took 1 week to understand how to run mhdd and the scripts but thanks to all this forum.

Hello,

I have a WD3200BEVT locked with any password.

I dont know how I unlocked this drive.

Can you tell me if it is possible?

Thanks

Hello I generated a mod with mvr_r and I dont know what is my password.
