Hi everybody,

I was searching on the forum and on the web to find out how to unlock Toshiba HDD with forgotten password.
I have TOSHIBA MK1655GSX from friends Notebook and of course all passwords what he thought he entered are wrong .
I've tried MHDD with masterpassword 32 spaces but without success.
with UNLOCK function I'm receiving error msg : Fail
with DISPWD function I'm receiving msg : Done

MY HDD is still locked

Any idea will be appreciated .
Pali
