this is the steps I followed to unlock: 1.)
Boot a floppy or CD containing HDAT2 (). HDAT2 is
also included in the Hiren's BootCD () 2.)
Connect locked drive to Motherboard SATA connector (connecting before
boot may work or not - some BIOS versions do not work well with locked
drives) 3.) Launch HDAT2 that is in Hard Drive tool category 4.) Select the drive in "Device List" screen 5.) Select "Security Menu" 6.) Select "Unlock device" (this combines UNLOCK and DISABLE PASSWORD) 7.) Type 'I' to select "Identifier:Master" 8.) Type 'F' once to select "Fill char: 0x00".
9.) Type 'P' once to set password "WDCWDCWDCWDCWDCWDCWDCWDCWDCWDCWD" 9.) Type 'S' to unlock device.
