I have a SSD disk with password protection, but the password lost long time ago. So I tried to earse the ATA security with 'hdparm' command. With 'hdparm -I', the disk information looks interesting as below: root@ubuntu:~# hdparm -I /dev/sda /dev/sda: ATA device, with non-removable media Model Number: TX21B10400GE8001 Serial Number: FG002VTA Firmware Revision: PRO6F515 Transport: Serial, ATA8-AST, SATA 1.0a, SATA II Extensions, SATA Rev 2.5, SATA Rev 2.6, SATA Rev 3.0 Standards....

When use security unlock command on this disk, the print out like below: root@ubuntu:~# hdparm --user-master u --security-unlock 123456 /dev/sda security_password='123456' /dev/sda: Issuing SECURITY_UNLOCK command, password='123456', user=user SECURITY_UNLOCK: Input/output error I'm wondering is there any other way to unlock this ssd disk and remove the password? I was able to get this to work on my Western Digital WD20EURS. After piecing together tips from all over google, I was able to get a master password, research the commands of hdparm, and use your example in your original question to resolve my issue.
Maybe this will help with you too. First off, I found a list of master passwords for various brands of drives.
Here are two locations, (replaced with Web Archive versions to avoid link rot) • • My Method: • Used ESCAPE to cancel Bios HD password request. • Booted into CentOS7 CLI ( previously installed yum install hdparm) • Command hdparm -I /dev/sda to check if drive was 'locked' ( -I is capital i ) • Command hdparm --user-master m --security-unlock PASS /dev/sda • m = using master password • PASS = for me, typing 'WDC' ten times, with a finishing 'W' • found this in the links listed above • Command hdparm -I /dev/sda again ( -I is capital i ). This time the drive showed 'not locked' ( at which I hesitantly rejoiced) • Command hdparm --user-master m --security-disable PASS /dev/sda • -This should disable the password on the hard drive and allow you to boot without needing a password next time. • Then I put the drive back into my windows machine, and I was able to see all the partitions in the drive, erase them, and use this new drive!
Your solution is just slightly terrifying. Using the 'master' password (a.k.a public value) it should of course never be possible to unlock a locked drive, only to perform a secure erase, which would also remove the user password. If the master password actually lets you unlock the drive and retain the old data, then you can only ask. WTF is the point?
In this case it is security theater, there is no actual security or encryption occurring at all on that particular drive model. – Feb 29 '16 at 21:00. This would be my findings. I was able to remove the password, and retain the data which was previously on this drive. 97% of the drive was encrypted, so that data was not recoverable. But a small partition was not encrypted which only had a few files which related to the cloud system the drive was salvaged from.
Nothing exposing sensitive information belonging to the cloud company. The password lock on the drive was more of an advanced step in making the drive less likely to be interchanged by others, or the data easily accessed by others. – Mar 2 '16 at 3:30 1.
