During manufacturing, the master password, SEAGATE, is set for the drive, and the lock function is disabled. The system manufacturer or dealer may set a new user password using the Security Set Password command (F1H) without enabling the lock function. Before a user password is entered, the drive rejects all security commands except Security Set Password. When you set a password, the drive automatically enters lock mode (lock mode is enabled) the next time it is powered on. When lock mode is enabled, the drive rejects all media-access commands until you enter the correct password, completing a Security Unlock command. The drive supports two levels of security: high security and maximum security. In high-security mode, if you forget your password, you can still access the data by entering the master password. In maximum security mode, if you forget your password, you cannot access the data. In maximum security, you can erase all data on the drive and reinitialize the drive using the Erase Unit command (F4H). You must enter the master password to complete an erase Unit command. The Freeze Lock command (F5H) prevents you from changing security features. If, during normal drive operation, the Freeze Lock command is executed, all normal commands are implemented, but the security commands Disable Password, Erase Unit, Set Password, and Unlock cannot be completed. For additional details on the Drive Security Commands, see the ATA-3 specification (document X3T10/2008D)." I hope You have a seagate, and you can use the master password to unlock the beast !! :) Gizz ___________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? -- Une adresse _at_yahoo.fr gratuite et en français !
