I wanted to erase my ssd and so i set a password the drive in order to complete a ATA Secure Erase. Normaly the passwort get reset to NULL after completion of the erase.



Then however I realised that i have some data on the drive and wanted to copy that away, but my drive is not recognised any more! What should I do? I am working with Ubuntu.

          The disk is now in a password-locked state.



          If you only completed the password setting phase, you would need to use hdparm --security-unlock and/or hdparm --security-disable, both with the password you used when setting the drive password. If you used the --user-master option when setting the password, you'll need to use it when unlocking and/or disabling it too.



          If you already sent the hdparm --security-erase command, the drive will remember the command even if you disconnect power from it, and will not respond to further commands until the erase procedure is complete.
