Date: Thu, 30 Jan 2003 19:33:59 +0100 I'm sure I ran the commands correctly, but it didn't work. I cannot contact the author of atapwd, because his hp is down. Seems as if I have to buy a new disk, but what if it happens again? I found a desciption to erase a disk using debug, may this unlock the disk? It's the last chance I see at the moment. Or is there kind of a masterpassword for hitachi disks? Because I think the program wants the right password. Even before erasing the disk it asks for a password, so maybe this is the only way to get the disk back to work Any ideas???
