I got a Samsung 840EVO SSD (125GB) from a friend who took it out of their laptop before getting rid of it that is locked (so going back to the old laptop is not an option)
a) When placed in my Laptop. I get a prompt in the bios for password to unlock it.. no luck.
established a supervisors password and will not take that either. after bypassing. It will not show under disk management. BIOS seeing it, DISKPART sees it only listing as "Disk 0" and size, nothing else.
I have changed from IDE to ACHI and back and forth, no change
b) When placed in my Desktop. I'm not getting prompt from BIOS and will show up under Disk management. But, cant initialize/mount/etc. Established a supervisors password and will not take that either. Again DISKPART sees it only listing as "Disk 0" and size, nothing else.
It seams to be locked in the device itself. there is no "reset button" . "Samsung Magician" software can't help. Create an "easy erase" boot CD , again it sees it but can't do anything withing.
Created a ISO to update/re-write the firmware and got shot down again...
Anyhelp or do I start using it for target practice??
