[...] If it’s zero we’re in luck, and we can either unlock the disk with the regular password (assuming you

know it, I did not) or with the master password (you can find some of them on the net, just google for your

I tried the Samsung password on a Samsung MP0804H 80GB 2.5″ drive and it would not work. This hard

drive was locked in a Dell laptop, and I’ve been searching everywhere for a way to unlock it.
