I need to download unlockhd.exe for 64bit windows 7. Open the Folder and Run the Setup.exe to install the software. HOW TO DOWNLOAD CLNPWD.EXE PROGRAM.
It's going to depend, if it's a used laptop you purchased and have no right or expectation to the content, then removing the lock condition that also formats the entire contents (yes, wipe, erase, reformats) should be doable. If you expect to be able to retrieve the contents of the drive, that's a different matter entirely. The ATA standard has had this locking feature for a very very long time in all ATA drives, it's just most manufacturers never bothered to implements it in their BIOS, that being the motherboard initial booting up that would pass along the correct password to the drive at a low level so it would function. Since you're not passing the correct password, most all commands to the drive are being refused. Thus, if you try to 'see' it as a logical drive letter under My Computer or something like that, no, you are right, you are NOT going to 'see' it. The device should at least be seen in BIOS and under device manager. FYI, here we have the ATA-3 standard established in 1997 which first introduced the Security features (see section 6.5, starting on pg 33, and particularly helpful the diagrams on page 34) These carry forward to ATA/ATAPI-4,-5,-6,-7 and SATA as well.
The challenge is that unless you were using a laptop BIOS that is designed to handle this situation, that is: to prompt the user at power-on for the password to unlock the drive, how would you achieve that and provide the password to the drive when connecting via USB? Well, one way, under unix/unbutu/Linux variants would be to use the hdparm -security command which supports ATAPI fully, or under Windows say, would be to use a drive utility, if not the drive diagnostics tool. Here from the 'Seagate USB 2.0 Pocket Hard Drive User's Manual' is the section about using the tool to password protect, and/or 'HOW TO WRITE PROTECT THE DRIVE' What brand is the hard disk inside?
Unfortunately for you, Toshiba is notorious for keeping their support very close to the vest, it is difficult to even find a low-level disk diagnostic utility for anything Toshiba. To get in touch with Toshiba for assistance with this, you are probably going to need the cooperation of the legitimate registered owner so you can get authorized assistance. For sheer longevitiy, you might be better replacing the drive with a WD or Seagate or such. You will need to know if it's laptop-sized IDE, or is it SATA, depending on the age. Some BIOSes fail to support hard drives larger than a set size (so it this one is below 127GB, you might not be able to use larger than that, or you might be lucky) due to LBA limits.
Another big concern is the operating temperature of the disk. What happens is some people replace a Toshiba hd that is 5400 rpm and operates at 27C say, but they put in a 7200rpm that normally operates at 37C, NOT a good idea as then you're probably pushing your luck and exceeding the laptop's ventilation ability to keep not only the drive but the entire laptop cool enough for optimal operation and longevity.
For a discussion of specialized hardware devices and data lab services designed to defeat hard drive password protection, see here. Ocanada gave you good info. Let me expand as I write code that manipulates these settings. The security features have 2 passwords, a master & user level.
They can be any byte combination and Forget a brute force recovery unless you have reason to believe they only used a few characters. Too many combinations. (32 factorial, if I remember the algebra).
When the drive is locked, you can not read data from it w/o entering the password. The way around it is to add the master password (if one is not there), and then secure erase it. So if you need the data, forget it, the cost for the software or to take it to a lab to pay somebody to unlock it, is going to cost you more than what the disk is worth. Throw the HDD away and buy a replacement. FIrst I would like to say that I am impressed with the response I have gotten. This is my first time using this site.
The hard drive that is locked is a WD2500BEVS. The only program that sees the drive so far is the MHDD. I have tried to reset the password and set the master password both to no avail. The Toshiba satellite asks for a Bios password and then a HDD password so I have been pulling the drive out to boot up and then reinserting it after it boots as this is the only way I have found to get around the HDD password prompt.
Is there a way to run atapwd in MHDD and brute force the password? I am not sure where to go from here. You can not just reset the password.
It does not work that way. You have to know the password ahead of time to get rid if it. If the master password is set, then you have to know the master password in order to remove it. That is how the command works per the ATA specification. No software can get around it. There is also no back door. The only way to get around it is to plug the disk into some equipment that interfaces with the drive electronics.
Throw the disk away. Sorry, but you are wasting your time. @micahel-best Toshiba's low-level disk utility is NOT on their website and finding one is very difficult. I've also encountered incorrect drivers posted, and end up faced with a C$50 to obtain drivers. It appears in this case it is a Western Digital drive in a Toshiba laptop not a Toshiba drive. Toshiba may have furnished it that way or the previous owner may have changed drives.
YES if you want to try ATAPWD, it runs from a DOS boot, exactly like the MHDD does. So it depends whether you're booting from a bootable CD, bootable flash/usb stick, a different hard disk with the drive in question attached as secondary, or booting an actual floppy disk, will dictate how you get to try ATAPWD in place of MHDD. Well one 'back door' is that many times the master password is left as the manufacturer/dealer's default, and the act of drive locking usually only sets the 'user' password, so trying the 'master' password Toshiba sent them out with might work. From what I read Toshiba often uses a master password of all spaces. You said you tried a master, but I gather you're guessing you are not furnishing the correct one?
As a further measure, the drive will go from locked to frozen if 5 bad master passwords are tried, so additional attempts are ignored/useless, you usually have to cycle power to get 5 more attempts. Depending if the security level chosen was 2) high or 3) maximum, you need the correct 'master' password to be able to 2) unlock or 3) sucesfully issue an ATA 'security erase unit' command with whatever tool. By the way, if/when sucesfully 'security erasing', the drive then needs plenty of time to erase the drive, as it actually erases, so the command returns estimated time required and you have to leave it on that long while it does so even though it might seem to be idle. So consider, if it is set to maximum and you don't know the master password, you'll be unable to even issue a security erase so out of luck. Another supposed back door is if you have a 2nd WD2500BEVS you might be able to, carefully mind you, swap the circuitboards, but that is really dicey and unlikely to work because nowadays recorded in the registries on the IC chips is not only the passwords but also the infinitecimal alignment information, and some is also stored on the platter accessible only by the logic board of the drive itself, such that swapping if the boards is unlikely to work unless the firmware and the alignment are the same. Toshiba's low-level disk utility will NOT delete the master password. If such a product existed outside of a lab, then deploying Toshiba's disks to any government, military, medical, or financial facility would impose a serious security risk.
The reason, is that it would be possible to back-door the security password as well as secure erase, which would make it unacceptable to use. No way would IBM, DELL or any large OEM consider using that disk, as it would open them up to lawsuits. So frankly, IMHO, and I emphasize, in my OPINION, such a product could not possibly exist that would disable the security. There is no financial upside and a massive billion-dollar exposure risk for such a product to erase the password.
I will also volunteer, that I have never heard of such a product existing for any other drive manufacturer, and I have development NDAs with them from times when I worked for one of the largest OEM Seagate / WDC customers they had. If I even caught wind that there was a back door to the security, then I, and any of my peers, would have reported this to our management, and I guarantee they would have terminated any OEM agreement with any vendor that could do this.
This is really no different then an encryption hardware/software vendor having a back door. Even the existence of such a thing makes using that vendor unacceptable risk for end-users.
@dlethe um, no not exactly, I think you're mistaken. The thing about the 'locking' is it's not encryption at all, quite the contrary. As for the government or military never using them, hahaha c'mon, don't you remember all the stories of military security incompetence? Like when the military finally decided the way to secure repeated usb stick theft was to super-glue all usb ports shut? Anyway, the manufacturers cover their butts in the terms of use fine print, right? It can all go to $#^!, and usually does, and they all absovle themselves of any responsibility for anything.
Actually disk lock is weak. Steve Gibson among others has shown this. Say, maybe revisit the link I posted here from what I understood the Michael Crooker case was not simply a case of he set the user but not the master password and yet still his data was obtained. Yes a device to do it far exceeds the cost of simply getting a new disk. Neener neener (just kidding) lol can't know everything right? Still, an interesting topic and fun discussion to have. The data can be recovered in a lab if the Master password is set.
The password does not prevent anybody from reading the data who has the right hardware. However, the point is, that it requires hardware that bypasses the SATA/ATA disk interface. This is the risk. If there was a back-door password, then it would be unsuitable for use, as it would be too easy to obtain access to the data and get around the password.
Some vendors use this password in their RAID implementations for a variety of purposes. The master password serves 2 purposes. To prevent a user from READING/WRITING data to the disk, as a method of inexpensively 'locking' the drive. Or, as a precursor to running the NIST PURGE, or SECURE ERASE. If one was able to read/write data between the time the disk was locked and continuing on with the erase, then there would be a security hole.
This password has nothing to do with encryption. It has to do with preventing access to data once a disk has been locked. There are rules for what commands that can be accepted by the disk when user / master passwords are set in combination with some bit settings from the SET FEATURES.
But it is moot, the point I am making is that one can not just send a command that will remove the password w/o either blowing away the entire disk as a consequence, or knowing the password and making that password part of the ATA command that removes it. (There are rules that are exceptions, that one can read up on by going to the T13 site, but getting too deep into it). On that model, I'd just replace the drive, you can get a 250 gig replacement drive for as little as $44 and it should not run more than 89.00 for a brand new 250 gig. That said, if it's the bios hard disk lock, you can try these backdoor passwords.

CONDO PASSWORD HEWITT RAND For PHOENIX: phoenix This is a partial list obtained from 3 sources online and has been rewritten for purposes here. If it's a software lock on the drive, not a bios lock, you can pull the drive, use a usb-sata dock and plug the drive into a unix box and remove all partitions and initialize it with a Linux partition. Then put it back in the laptop and format it normally. 'If it's a software lock on the drive, not a bios lock, you can pull the drive, use a usb-sata dock and plug the drive into a unix box and remove all partitions and initialize it with a Linux partition.' That does not make sense, unless you are talking about some sort of application software.
![Windows Windows](/uploads/1/2/5/4/125423716/949223040.jpg)
When the drive is 'locked' with the ATA security master or user password, then the disk will NOT allow any program to read or write to any block until the disk is unlocked. Because of this, it would be impossible to get around this by using a USB-sata bridge, because such devices still have to eventually write to the disk to modify block 0.
