Re: Satellite L350-16U - How to recover HDD password?

I forget my massword of HDD and I can't restart my system.
How can I recover my password HDD in my notebook L350-16U?
Thanks

hi foued,
hi all,
i'll try to bring some light in this discussion....
first of all
? what is hdd password and how it works:
the password is stored on the hdd and crypts the content to protect it from unauthorized access.
lost password means: all data lost!
but there is hope: some data recovery companies maybe are able to reset this password, search for "kroll ontrack"
?new hdd required: no - only if you dont need your data,
there is an option to initialize your hdd (option in bios) *but* you will loose all data!
how it works?:the bios calls a routine in the hdd controller that formats the hdd, after that you have a blank hdd - data cant be recovered from this point!
but you got the hdd in a fresh state!
there are some "cool" scripts/methods/tools around in the internet... i wouldnt try this....
this leads you to an unusable hdd and you will not be able to recover...
sorry but the only way to get your data back is to send some money or
forget your data and install the system again after unlocking the hdd (delete whole disk data by controller)...
this is a cool security hardware stuff - no way to break!

There are some data I would like to recover from the HD so I'm trying to avoid reinstalling the system until I've recovered the files.
Have tried to read from the HD using a cabinette and a new NP running Vista but it didn't work. Is there a general problem reading a XP HD from VISTA?
Any suggestions how to recover the data would be very much appreciated!
Johan

cabinette ? Do you mean "USB Hard Disk Caddy" ?
To recover your data, you can connect the HDD using a USB Adapter to another PC running XP or Vista. The drive should show up as a Drive letter (such as E: Drive), and you will be able to copy the files.
When you say "but it didn't work", what was the problem exactly?

You can't recover it.
Note this warning in the encrypted backup description.

How to setup HDD password on Equimum L40-141?

Hi
Can anyone tell me how to setup hardrive password on my above Laptop please?
Thank you
Jane

Hi
Did you check the settings in the BIOS?
My BIOS contains a option for HDD password setting.
But just one question; why do you want to set the HDD password?
Is it really necessary?
You should know that if the HDD was set and something will go wrong, I mean if you would forget the HDD password then the HDD would be locked and not more useable.
Therefore be careful with such password if you want hear my opinion; dont set it.

Tecra M5: How to use HDD password when HDD is connected as external device?

I have a Toshiba Tecra M5 with MK1032GSX hard disk. I put a bios password and HDD password. Every day I power on my laptop by digit my password only one time: unlock disk and bios. The screen for password is before windows starts.
One day motherboard of my laptop is broken, I bring my pc on Toshiba support center (less disk), and I waiting for it (2 month ago). I need to read my date from disk but it is locked by password. The disc is SATA disk, I put it on a desktop and I see it in bios and in peripheral of windows resource, but I don't see it in explorer.
Any of software that I tried (HDD unlock, atapwd...) wont work. I have my password, I have not forgotten it.
How can I read my date? Can you help me?
Thank you.

as far as i know its not possible to remove the hardware password from the HDD other than by using your laptop.
Still if you google arround I think I saw once something about a Linux distro that was able to unlock some HD's. Not sure if thats still arround but perhaps you can give it a go. Still I would not advise doing something like that has its possible that it messes up your HD and then you will be stuck with a good paperweight.
The proper course of action when you send ur laptop to warranty is to make a full backup. There are image software out there that allows you to make a mirror image of your HD for example. I, myself, bought a 100GB USB2 2.5' HD that fits my pocket and goes with me everywhere. I've encrypted it with TrueCrypt so no one has access to my sensible information if loose it and I make regular backups from the laptop to this HD. It saved my life at least 2x.
Just my 2 cents
Cheers
