How to free ATA(SSD) Freeze lock(ATA ERASE 프리즈락 해제 방법)

락이 걸린경우 해제하려고 알아보았는데, 여러가지 의견들이 많긴하나 내가 성공한 방법은 이렇다.

1. DOS부팅전 HDD 나 SSD의 전원을 뺀놓는다.(이때 데이터 케이블은 연결된 상태)

2. DOS부팅이되면 전원케이블 연결

3. MHDD나 HDDERASE와 같은 툴 실행

4.  락이 해제되었다면 Erase수행

5. 해제되지 않았다면 종료 후 전원케이블 제거 후 재부팅 위의 1번 부터 다시 수행

이렇게 하니 잘되었다.

Tried all those things except n0 4 as can't set a password in my bios.

Q: How can I bypass the Security Lock?
A: You can try the following:
1. Boot your SSD to another computer. 
2. Switch your SSD to another SATA channel.
3. Hot Plug your SSD (Dangerous):
Turn your PC off.
Unplug your SSD power cable but leave signal cable in.
Power back on your system, complete boot, re-attach your SSD power.
4. Set a password for your SSD in your BIOS.

 

 

MHDD fast erase method

get from http://forum.hddguru.com/viewtopic.php?t=884&start=

To erase :
1) Issue LOCK
2) Select 0 (user)
3) type a password es. 1234
4) Issue EID command to verify the locking. PWD will lit and the warning "drive is locked with ATA password" will appear
5) at this point issue FASTERASE
6) type the user password in this case 1234
7) wait a few seconds and MHDD will show "OK FASTERASE STARTED"... otherwise the entered PW is incorrect.
 wait until BSY turns off. You can be warned with a beep issuing WAIT command (the pc wll beep when the drive is not busy anymore)
9) the drive is erased.

Most drives unlock automatically after fasterase, other have to be UNLOCKed (issue UNLOCK command and type user or master pwd.) then DISPWD.
Turn off then on the drive and you'll see the drive is not locked anymore.

FASTERASE uses internal security functions so is much faster than erasing the LBAs . It took me about 40 min. for a Maxtor 160GB. , may vary depending on brand and capacity.
