Reset/erase Hynix SC210 to factory default
Some Googling made this seem straightforward, but it ain’t necessarily so:
First try was Hynix Drive Manager, supposed to be able to do PSID reset In Win7 x86 context, what shoddy software – this greeted me first time I clicked it from Start menu: After wild goose chase triggered by the OpenGL bit, I tried swapping graphics cards until penny dropped when it still objected to a Radeon HD3450 How I got it work: 1. Command prompt 2. Change to install directory \Program Files\SK Hynix Drive Manager 3. Copy d3dcompiler_47.dll taken from \Program Files\Mozilla Firefox of a Win10 x86 machine 4. Run skhms-drive-gui.exe To be fair, in Win10 environment, the POS does run without issue But still won’t reset SSD unless one knows its password (no sign of PSID reset option) Next I tried EasyKit_WindowsInstaller_x64.exe from: https://www.touslesdrivers.com/index...41&v_langue=en This did have a PSID reset option, but it was greyed-out, making me think my SC210 doesn’t support that  Then I started chasing down various HDPARM rabbit holes on the Internet It soon became apparent that Dell’s password algorithm is much more sophisticated than leaving a default value for master password  Next try was a couple of Dell password generators, both originating from hpgl, Russia Unfortunately they didn’t work either: So now I’m SOL unless I can get a Dell password that works for the SC210 Any help most appreciated

Use hdparm to send the drive an ATA_SECURE_ERASE command. This not only wipes the drive, destroying all data on it, but also clears the password on the drive.

How are you connecting the drive to the computer?

Dell BIOS seems to accommodate that alright - note in 2nd last pic, message says "system modular bay HDD is protected by a password" |
