bsmith1051 Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 I am trying to reuse a Force3 90GB SSD for a new install. I tried to do a security-erase command beforehand. Somehow a password was assigned instead. How do I reset or override it? I'm not trying to hack the drive, I'm still wanting to secure-erase it so that I can do a fresh install. Thank you for any suggestions!
bsmith1051 Posted June 14, 2012 Author Posted June 14, 2012 Good news. I re-did the original 'hdparm' procedure and this time it worked?! And I was able to re-boot without the password warning (and I'm halfway through the Win7 reinstall). Weird.
