Hi, I also have an encrypted Toshiba ATA-password protected. I can confirm that the solution with Zu version 2 works for me too. I have added zu.exe to ubcd (ultimate boot CD), and created a bootable USB key using unetbootin (I am working on Linux). Then booted ubcd, and executed atapwd with the commanf command SECURITY ERASE PREPARE. This step was necessary, otherwise zu.exe did not work. Finally I have executed zu.exe /p because the HDD was the primary. Unlock was immediate, all data saved. Thanks!

Hi, can someone explain me how to put ZU.EXE to USB drive. If i put it just in root folder i can not see it after boot. thanks!
Hi everybody ! Many thanks to LatinMcG for this useful topic. The type of hdd I want to unlock is: HGST HTS545050A7E380. I could not do it with ZU. Every time it responds with “unlock not done”. Please, let me know, if there is any other way to unlock this hdd. Thank you.
