Ata Password Removal Tool
With a voltage jump for reasons beyond my control, the BIOS blocked the SSD Transcend (TS128GSSD370S) drive with an ATA password. In the warranty service center, I was refused service. In Bios you can not enter a password. There is only an inscription that it is blocked. Requires ATA password to unlock. There are no data there. There is a high degree of protection. Requires ATA password to unlock. There are no data there.
There is a high degree of protection. It is not possible to create an environment.
Tried HDPARM in Linux, but not possible. HelloThank you for posting in the HP Support forum.Based on the screenshot I can conclude this is HP Drive Lock. This is a security feature, firmware lock in business class devices like your Elitebook, which provides protection against unauthorized data access. This ensures the integrity and the confidentiality of the data.A drive protected with a DriveLock password stays protected even if the drive is removed from one system and inserted into another.At power on, the system prompts the user for the DriveLock password.If an incorrect password is entered, the information on the hard drive is in accessible.
The DriveLock password is stored inside the hard drive itself and cannot be read; it can only be authenticated against. Therefore, an unauthorized user cannot obtain the DriveLock password from the hard drive itselfUnless the correct password is entered, this drive cannot be used at all no matter the computer and configuration. The only way to 'fix' this by entering the correct password.More infoI am afraid that without this password, the drive will need to be replaced with a new one.Hope this helps. Let me know if this works for you and if you have any further questions. Wrote:The problem is that there is no password entry in BIOS. Just an inscription about the lock: DriveLock. And no more actions can be done.
The disk does not give in to any kind of formatting. Now only change to a new one?Hi,In order to manage Drive Lock features, in the BIOS, go to Security - Hard Drive Utilities - Drive Lock/Automatic Drive Lock - Select your drive.(etc)I am afraid no, not formatting here. This is a firmware lock - this is not a software encryption, the disk is physically and virtually locked, not only its data. If you are not sure of the Drive Lock password, you need to physically remove the existing drive and buy/replace it with a new oneCould you please elaborate more on the suspected reasons - 'the voltage jump beyound your control' mentioned above?
I have manage to unlock the password of any HDD if its compatible with the BIOS error code master password generator.I tried many tools for the Phoenix Bios and no luck. This is were I found my discovery.I have a Acer Aspire One with InsydeH20 Bios version 3.50 if I can recall. I found a way to unlock the password of any drive that the HDD ATA password was stored with this certain BIOS.Whats needed,Hiren BootCD (usb preferably) 14.0 with BIOS 'Master password Generator'.The program is only visible if you run and load the HBCD Menu in Mini Windows XP under the password section.Here you will get a command prompt, were you will enter '7' for InsydeH2O bios. Then it will ask you for the 8 digit code Hash / error code thats given when you insert the wrong password 3 times, and try to unlock it with 'Unlock' in the menu. It will tell you to insert the master password and give you a 8 digit Key.Then, your master password will be given to you. What this means is that this BIOS is not setting what you typed as the ATA password, but some other string that the BIOS is generating internally. The flaw here is not the ATA password, but the algorithm the BIOS is using to generate the ATA password.I wouldn't go so far as to call it an 'algorithm'.Anyway, here is how I understand it:Simply put, if you are answering the password challenge from a software application rather than the BIOS of the original laptop, then you will need to send the keyboard scan codes for each key rather than their ASCII values.
