OCZ Vertex 460A ATA locked

April 24th, 2026, 22:14

Heya, I was wondering maybe someone can help me.

My problem:
I have an OCZ Vertex 460A, Indilinx Barefoot 3 controller, Firmware 1.00, Serial A22MR061451003452, Master password revision code 38710, Security level high, not frozen, not expired. Drive was in a custom built ASUS gaming PC from around 2014 running Windows 10. Nobody set a password intentionally. Have tried blank, zeros, ASUS, OCZ, Vertex, Indilinx, poker, and several others. All fail with sense_key=0x5 asc=0x21 ascq=0x4. Looking for the correct master password or alternative approach.

I really would like to save the data (pictures) on it. If I cannot use the SSD afterwards anymore thats fine by me.
I have been using OpenSuperClone/OpenSuperTool 2.5.0 and hdparm on a Linux live boot to attempt the unlock. The security count has not expired yet so the drive is not permanently locked.

Thank you in advance.
