I have this 320GB Stealth HD Bio external HDD from MXI Security. It has two partitions - a private encrypted partition of 304969MB and a public partition of 8.97MB. I forgot the administrator password and the private partition got locked after 10 incorrect attempts. Is there any way to wipe the entire HDD and re-use it as a normal HDD? I don't care about the data in it anymore.
After doing some research, I tried formatting using different tools like GParted, PartitionMagic etc. The problem is that all these tools only detect the public partition. The private partition is hidden and not detected at all; hence I am unable to do anything to it. The public partition can't be wiped either. I look forward to any help in this regard.
