Data Recovery from an ATA password protected
Fujitsu MHU2100AT hard drive
Hard Disk Drive: Fujitsu MHU2100AT
Type: Laptop
Capacity: 100Gb
Problem: ATA password protected, no commercially available means
of bypassing the password
A hard drive that has an ATA password enabled will not allow it's data
to be read, even on a sector by sector basis until the password has
either been entered correctly or reset / disabled.
At the time this recovery was performed there were no commercial tools
available for tackling this problem, therefore we wrote our own using
our Diskmaster
hard disk recovery and repair tool.
The ease or difficulty of manipulating ATA passwords on hard
drives is manufacturer specific: for example, the approach
necessary for Fujitsu hard drives is completely different
from that of Seagate drives (you may like to read our Seagate
ATA password removal case study). ATA
password removal on this Fujitsu drive was a three step process
of
- Putting the drive into the manufacturers factory mode
- Resetting the ATA password
- Power cycling
This removed the ATA password and the hard disk drives data
area was now fully accessible.
