[chayres9]

Hi everyone, i'm a newbie in this topics, i think i can learn to many things in this great forum, so, first of all, thanks in advance for exist . Well, i have a HITACHI HTS542516K9SA00 with FW: BBC0C31P, this HD has a locked Master password with security level High, is frozen, and has security count expired. The problem is, I dont have the Master password, i was victim of a bad joke for a friend, believe me, is not stolen, so, i can see this with the provider too, anyway, i really like to know how can i get the password or set a new one or use Hdderaser.exe because this HD support Enhanced security erase, but before i try, i want to recover data, this is possible ? or maybe exists another way to do this, what can i do? please help me......

Yes, you can easy unlock this HDD.
You can use PC-3000.
I suggest you buy this tool and unlock your drive.

Or send it to a pro. Unfortunately I am at the opposite corner of the world...

There are ways to accomplish what you are asking for cheaper than PC-3000. There's no need to purchase such an expensive tool when there are cheaper ones. But no matter what you will need to unlock the drive first to recover the data.

PM me.
