Post subject:  Samsung SSD 840 Pro Locked by ATA password
Hey guys,
I just tried to search a lot on web and also on your forum about unlocking an ssd from a ata password but it seems done just with WD.
Not intentionally i enabled a data security from samsung magician and i forgot to remove it before formatting so now the ssd is locked (not frozen).
It didnt ask me to input a password so i cannot image which kind of password it used i already tried with t *32 times but doesn't work.
On the motherboard where it was installed I cannot boot with the ssd plugged in because it freeze on the startup of the bios on other motherboards works since the startup.
I tried to contact samsung by email this morning, i've already did it before and they told me in chat live to contact European assistance at Hanaro with a phone number but sincerly by email is way better.
Well if someone can help me out would be awesome thanks.

(Of course the ssd is mine)

He most probably wants a FREE solution :mrgreen:

NB. if the problem is reuse the SSD loosing everything on it (TOTALLY) it should be done using vendor tool, otherwise, especially if there is other encryption AND DATA IS NEEDED, need dedicated tools, intervention and..............................
(unless you know / can get master and / or user ATA password)

P.S. do not ask me anything, just in case....
