Hi,
About 2 months ago I bought ReadyNAS DUO. I put in there 2 x WD RE4 2TB.
Unfortunately, I had to change NAS to something faster so I sell this NAS (without hard disk).
Today when I try connect those drives to PC or other NAS I got "Please enter ATA password".
What? I don't lock this hard drives with password. I even know that readynas duo have this option.
Plese help me. How unlock my disks?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Locked Hard Drives
The easiest way would be to put the disks back in a Sparc ReadyNAS and do a factory default.

Re: Locked Hard Drives
I ask buyer to send me back ReadyNAS DUO for 1-2 days to unlock my hard drives.
I just got package. I insert disks and make factory reset.
It stuck on "Disk initialization" for about 3 hours from now. How long it take? RAIDar shows IP: 192.168.168.168
I read that is problem with DHCP but dhcp serwer working fine.
I also tryied to connect directrly to NAS and change my Mac IP to 192.168.168.5
Ping's going, but can't access admin panel.

Re: Locked Hard Drives
Hi amator,
Thanks for the update. Have you tried using a different drive? Trying this would let us know if you have to try the workaround from the link mdgm provided.

Re: Locked Hard Drives
nope, I did't for now.
In mdgm link i read that he solve problem with rebulid xraid, so I try this for now.
for i=0:15 password[i] = 0xbeef + i; // 2-byte short word We use big-endian while Intel uses little-endian, so password on PC may be: 0xefbe, 0xf0be, ... Sorry for picking up beef as password.
I don't know programming so I don't know what other combination will be. I try first 2 provides with no result.
