hi im trying to unlock this disck bu i don´t read nathing i check the script for the wester digital but not found, who i can unlock it ?

Most probably you won't get any answer from the professionals here. In any case WD is not a Seagate.
P.s. This kind of info into wrong hands can potentially be used for ILLEGAL purpose so nobody even in good faith want to have unnecessary trouble.

I loock the disk with hd-x-lock but i dont remember the password only this.

If your looking for a free way then your out of luck sorry unless you remember the password.
Your options are:

Take or send the hdd to someone who has the professional data recovery equipment so they can remove the password for a fee but you will need to prove its yours.

I know there is also some software that might work but they charge to remove the password.

Otherwise buy a replacement hdd & move on.

Loki

it´s not posible unlock the disk with script as wdigital

No.

Like BlackST said no free solutions for unlocking HDD with password. This can be used for other purposes than what a person is saying on this one.

Only way is to take the HDD to a DR lab and prove that it is yours.

Simple and not so hard on this one. Good luck

i don´t undestand because in the web there are information to unlock wester digital wath is the problen with one seagate?, the data of the disk is not important to me.

If data is not important then contact Seagate and find out how to completely wipe this HDD and reset it. Simple then it will be unlocked.

Listen up : if it was FOR ME the thread about WD unlock would have been deleted the day BEFORE it was started. On the web there are most probably info about making napalm and similar nice stuff, the problem is ethical and what this kind of info in the wrong hands can do.
In a nutshell (I have already explained it , sometimes either people don't want to hear or don't like what they hear) : MANY OF US don't endorse this kind of discussion NEITHER answer NEITHER give any other info about it.
If you think you can find somewhere some info that can work or be useful to you, it's good. But no wonder if you come here and ask why it doesn't work or help and nobody answer.
AGAIN : in many countries it is criminal offence EITHER have access to electronic data you don't have the right to (note : let's assume your "bona fide" but on the other hand you can be everything you want on the net !) OR help in ANY FORM someone else to do so. And honestly, we have something more interesting to do (i.e. continuity of our business) rather than seeking UNNECESSARY TROUBLE.

Understood ?

thanks BlackST, I understand your position and the reprisals that this may. i have not understand that if proparcion wd and not segt , I've understood just try not to have have to spend a few € in a professional unlocking it to me.

@BlackST
OP expressed that data is not important. Is any unfaithful or illegal in deleting its own data. Is any possible abuse in this case? I am asking, as I do expect honest reply for my question in other thread.

@OP. There is something called secure erase, part of oficial ATA standard. Search for this. I think you can use earlier version of MHDD for secure erase.

@SAjunky,

FYI, to use Secure Erase on a locked drive (i.e. where the user password is unknown), requires that the master password is known. I didn't see where the OP said that was known, but perhaps I missed it...

Always assuming THIS is not the case , but:

Let's say it is a stolen equipment and want to give it a second life, but the disk is unusable because of the lock. It is unfaithful AND illegal to destroy data in this case.
Let's say it is a stolen equipment AND the purpose is destroy data on it to intentionally make a damage leaving the rest intact. It is unfaithful AND illegal in this case too.

Locking is useful either to protect data from unauthorized access AND from accidental / voluntary deletion.
This is why some kind of information IS potentially and practically dangerous.

In any case , as there is a recrudescence of requests of this kind, the problem will be addressed very soon. If it was for me, all this kind of discussions would have been banned from public area, but it's me.

So said, "security erase" with MHDD works ONLY if you know either user / master password, things get complicated when security is set to MAX / FROZEN.

Unauthorized access, definitely agreed.
Accidental deletion, agreed too. However it is why mater password can be used: to force deletion when needed.
Voluntary deletion - it doesn't make sense. If someone want to destroy data, hammer comes handy. It is why it doesn't make sense to protect data on the hard drive against hammer. Your arguments don't make any sense.

Now, if someone is asking how to recover drive from forgotten password, you say in public this is a thief and refuse help. But if a person gives you a job and pay money, you take a job. This is pure example for double standards.

Thanks, this is usefull information. However typical BIOS password utility do not set master password, but user password, AFAIK. And default master password for seagate is... forgotten, but search engine will be useful for OP.

Wrong post please delete.

Wrong post please delete.

That does not fit with my experience, but I cannot say what is "typical".

All I can say is that looking at recent BIOS-locked disks, I have seen that the master password has either been (a) set to the same as the user password, or (b) set to something else which the BIOS knows e.g. a hash of the machine ID (which then allows the BIOS to offer an alternate unlocking procedure, when security is set to High and not Max). None of the disks I viewed had the default master password, but of course YMMV due to the range of different BIOS vendors using different approaches etc.

Well, you are probably right, as I never used BIOS or other utilities to lock hard drives. It looked to me poor concept, from the beginning and subsequently losely implemented.
You mentioned BIOS hash tables, it is even more brain damaged concept, as it locks data to the motherboard. It doesn't make data more secure, but it gives a job to DR specialists in case of computer failure.

All these issues cause that many companies implemented policies to not use these features, as it only gives false sense of security.

Coming back to the issue, OP was using hd-x-lock to set password. @OP: Read documentation whether it changes master password, then use either modified or default Seagate password for secure erase.
