hdd password wipe

April 15th, 2011, 12:11

Hello folks, im trying to wipe a 2.5 hdd disk password (no problem loosing data), but i have no idea how to do it.
Googled a bit and found HDD Unlock, but it dont let me do it since im using it in USB method. I can't start it other way on my laptop cuz it always asks me built it pw on boot.
So guess the only way is USB, but i dont seem to find any tool that do it.
Hope you guys can help me.
BTW its a WD2500BEVS-26VAT0

There is another way but it requires the tools to do this one. The UDMA from ACE + the knowledge to do it can unlock this HDD for you. There is also a tool from SD that can unlock the password but sometime this one does not work so well. You need to understand the HDD and how to do this one in order to unlock the drive for you
