解锁/重置受 ATA 保护的硬盘

Question

I have a HDD from Synology NAS where secure erase has been interrupted. HDD is now locked. Security level high.

I tried to use default master password which should be "Seagate with 25 spaces", but that doesn´t work. I also tried to run Seagate toolkit, but he don´t see a connected disk, so I can´t do a factory reset.

Is there other way how to do factory reset without synology utility program? I don´t need data on the disk, I just wat to use HDD again.

Answer 1

Initiate a new erase from scratch. This will allow you to supply a new password.

This is the functionality designed by the spec: once erasing has started, the only thing you can do is finish an erasure... but it can be a new erasure.
