now to actually unlock it, that will take considerably more research

Unbreakable Security

The security feature supported in hard disk is unbreakable. Nobody can apply bruteforce/dictionary attack on your locked hard disk because

First of all one don't have low level utility to give unlocking commands to hard disk.
Even if one got the utility and do the bruteforce/dictionary attack, will get mad because at every sixth attempt hard disk needs to be applied hard reset. Security unlock command will be aborted if five wrong attempts are committed. After that, giving security unlock command results in command aborted until hard reset.
Maximum password length can be as long as 32 characters.
It has two security levels, high and maximum. And two password types, user password and master password.
