I've got a problem with my Intel X25-M 80GB SSD drive that was in one of my laptops (Lenovo). Since I've got a few laptops (work and stuff) I didn't touch this laptop a while and I forgot my passwords in this laptop.

I did changed the master password of the SSD and encrypted the data. I did a huge search in the web and I couldn't found a solution to unlock an SSD that is locked (and his master pass has changed).

Really, I've tried anything (partition magic, ubcd, HDDErase, etc) and I can't remove the lock. I don't care about the data inside.

How can I solve this?

  • Without the password you won't be able to unlock it

  • @Ramhound He may not be able to unlock it, but can he erase it to make the disk useable again?

You're dead out of luck. Your only option now is to install a fresh drive and reinstall the OS from scratch.
