A user-friendly application which allows you to easily remove HDD password.
HDD Unlock Wizard is a simple, smart, powerful and user-friendly application thatallows you to easily remove HDD password. IDE and SATA hard disk drives are supported. Both User and Master password can be removed.

All hard disk drives have the possibility to set a hardware password, thus making the drive completely inaccessible unless a correct password is provided during the BIOS POST test.
When you set a password on your notebook, the drive becomes locked as well. XBox gaming consoles and some desktop computers can also lock hard disk drives. This is usually called "HDD password" or "ATA password".
If you forget the original HDD password, there is no way of restoring it by generic system tools. HDD Unlock Wizard incorporates proprietary unlocking algorithms which allow to remove an unknown HDD password and make hard drive usable again.

– at least 300 MHz CPU and 128 MB of RAM.
– HDD Unlock Wizard does not support external USB and FireWire enclosures. Please attach drives directly to the motherboard.
Limitations:
– To remove a HDD password you will need a Virtual Unlock Card Code which has to be entered before unlocking process starts
