But!

The demo version is read-only.
To be able to both read and modify the parameters of HDD
purchase the full version of the WD Marvel. (15$ for a month)

bloods,
On the forum, ask the author of WDmarvel.
In the Russian version, it seems that the demo removes the password.
I don’t know about the English version of how the author did it.
If you do not remove the password, the author will return the money.
The password may be the result of a disk failure.

if I’m not mistaken, need PIO mode to remove the password.

FYI

HDDSuperTool can show the user and master passwords for a WD drive (as long as it has module access and not SED locked). And it can remove the password, but it is not a one click solution, and it is not advertised.

In the VSC menu, dump mod 02 will show passwords in both hex and text at the end of the screen output. Then in Security menu you can unlock then remove password.

This is free, but Linux only, although there is a boot CD.
