Password for Locked Hard Drives
Hi Support,
I have a problem on my ReadyNAS pro 6 HDD. My readynas pro can't access some hdd.
When i put these hdd on my desktop and power on. My PC will show Hard disk "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" is protected by a password enter the password or press ESC to exit
How can i remove the password? I have 5/6 HDD as a same problem.
Best regards,
Terence Lo

Re: Password for Locked Hard Drives
I've never had to do this, but there is an old thread that suggests the following:
For future reference, this should unlock the drives:
hdparm --security-unlock NETGEAR /dev/???
hdparm --security-disable NETGEAR /dev/???
So maybe try NETGEAR on the PC.
You can find hdparm for Windows, but the commands might not work there, since /dev/??? is an linux path.

It does support ssh. Netgear can also unlock them remotely. Perhaps a Netgear person here can help.
