I don't know the Seagate Master Password, but you may be able to get it. All you can do with it is wipe the drive and unlock it for future use. So with some work you may be able to save yourself $100 or whatever the drive is worth.
I believe the master password is set by the owner of the disk, not the manufacturer. Unless the manufacturer sets a default one :-?
I wonder where the password is kept? On the disk media? Or in flash rom somewhere on the controller board?
I think there are some inaccessible sectors at the start of the disk. ie. sector -1 etc. Greg -- Greg Freemyer Litigation Triage Solutions Specialist http://www.linkedin.com/in/gregfreemyer First 99 Days Litigation White Paper - http://www.norcrossgroup.com/forms/whitepapers/99%20Days%20whitepaper.pdf The Norcross Group The Intersection of Evidence & Technology http://www.norcrossgroup.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
