Hi,

i have problem with toshiba 128 gb ssd, model THNSNF128GCSS
i need to unlock that drive, i dont need items what are at ssd, because there is new windows only but i need to unlck it to use it. any suggestions?

If you dont need data, then probably all you need is to make Secure Erase with master password. But you have to find out what master password your model has. Try to cantact to Toshiba technical support, may they will tell you password or advice you service center where you could unlock your drive.

this ssd is taken from lenovo t430, and the hard disck manufacture time is october 2012. This lenovo t430 went to motherboard replacement. after that i cant ssd unlock. i will contact toshiba but when somebody has something wise to suggest then i will listen to gladly

contact with Toshiba technical support didnt help, some other ideas ???

what do you mean by didn't help?
they wouldn't tell you the password? They denied knowledge of how to do it? other? Specifics may help others here.

SSD sticks to lenovo laptop. If official service will change your motherboard they have to provide you with new SSD, otherwise , unlock the ssd drive also their work due password was set by lenovo hardware.

Contact Joe and ask him if he has a solution for you:

AIUI, the passwords are stored in EEPROM. Do you still have the old motherboard?

hi,

i contacted to joe and he said that he cant help me
no i dont have the old motherbpoard, i had to give old motherboard away when i get new motehboard. But how is motheboard involved with hdd, when the password is stored at hdd eeprom?

Fzabkar meant motherboard's EEPROM.

Yes, I was referring to the motherboard's EEPROM. However, even though "Joe's" site seems to suggest that a HDD password is stored on the motherboard, I don't understand why it should be duplicated there, if indeed it is.

Nowadays, actually,no need to keep passwords somewhere. Storing hash is enough to validate the password.

I would experiment with a WD Scorpio drive. Install it in your Lenovo, password protect it, and then retrieve the password using the methods outlined elsewhere in this forum. Perhaps you will be able to see something ...
