/tech/ - Wiping SATA passwords?

Name: Anon 2009-08-06 14:24

I've gotten hold of a 250GB WD hard disc - basically it's a pull from a laptop that I was asked to repair. Got the lappy up by swapping the disc, fair enough.

This disc has a password on it at the firmware level - basically, you need to complete a password challenge successfully before you can issue any other ATA commands to the drive.

Now I don't give a rat's arse about the data on the disc, but surely there's a way to wipe the data and start from scratch.

I've tried MHD3 and ATAPWD without success. I was thinking about cobbling something up to try and brute force it via HDParm but as I said, I don't really care about the data - just can make use of the disc.

Any suggestions, anon?

magnet? when it finds the disk unreadable, it will ask for a format?

find a replacement drive board? install new board?
