My Lenovo x300 died two weeks ago. When I attached the SSD to my PC (using a msata -> sata adapter).
I realized that the drive is locked using the x300's bios. I can recall my password, but using "hdparm --unlock-security" does not work.
Neither using scancodes nor ASCII for encoding (see also

When I searched this forum, I found
http://forum.hddguru.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=26275, so I am starting to get nervous.
Does anyone know, which would be the right encoding?
If I were to give up the data, which would be very inconvenient, but bearable as I backed up the most important stuff,
is there a possibility to get the drive unlocked without saving the data? According to hdparm it is in maximum security mode.
