User Password lost

If the User Password is forgotten and High level security is set, the system user cannot access any data. However

the device can be unlocked using the Master Password.

If a system user forgets the User Password and Maximum security level is set, data access is impossible. However

the device can be unlocked using the Security Erase Unit command to unlock the device and erase all user data with

the Master Password.

Table 51: Password lost

11.10.4.5

Attempt limit for the SECURITY UNLOCK command

The SECURITY UNLOCK command has an attempt limit, the purpose of which is to prevent someone from

attempting to unlock the drive with various passwords numerous times.

The device counts the password mismatch. If the password does not match, the device counts it without

distinguishing the Master password and the User password. If the count reaches 5, EXPIRE bit (bit 4) of Word 128

in Identify Device information is set, and then the SECURITY ERASE UNIT command and the SECURITY

UNLOCK command are aborted until a hard reset or a power off. The count and EXPIRE bit are cleared after a

power on reset or a hard reset.
