Hi,

I`ve got a problem with my new SSD. I wanted to use it in my Thinkpad with its Hardware encryption. Because of that I set a ATA Password with hdparm, to be able to perform a secure erase. The password I used is just 'p'. Unfortunatly I forgot to remove the password again so I couldnt boot up since the Thinkpads add a encryption to the ATA password.
I tried removing the password again by pluging it into my PC and using hdparm.

While I boot, I get these messages in my kernel log:
Code:
Apr 16 14:51:09 achmed kernel: ata5.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0

Apr 16 14:51:09 achmed kernel: ata5: EH complete


When I use hdparm -I on the device, I can see that it`s locked but not frozen.
If I try to unlock it, I get this error:
Code:
hdparm --security-disable p /dev/sdf
security_password="p"

/dev/sdb:
Issuing SECURITY_DISABLE command, password="password", user=user
SECURITY_UNLOCK: Input/output error


I get the same error for other commands.

Do you have any idea what I could try to do? Im pretty clueless right now...

Unfortunatly I cannot enter the lenovo BIOS without entering the correct password, which I cant because of the additional encryption.
I tried changing it with my old Acer Laptop but it seems to encode it differently, too.
