All I want to do is erase and use the drive, to do that I run the ATA
command security erase prepare, and then security erase unit. To do
the latter you need a master password which I don't have (tried all
spaces).
Anyone happen to know what the default password would be for that
series? If the master password was changed from default is it hosed
permanently? Any other way around it so I can use the drive?
I don't think there is such a thing as a default password. You might be
able to get around that. I don't know.
