how to remove password on ST9160824AS

[mojimorady]

Good day everyone,

these days I am involved with a Seagate drive, ST9160824AS, MOMENTUS 5400 FDE.2 that shows the following message: "Security Locked HDD"
which we can easily unlock it on other Seagate HDDs.

1- PC3000 does not detect the family.
2- it can not unlock the drive too and shows the error :

HDD opening............................. : Security unlock error: Device error detected "ABR"

I will very appreciative if anyone can help me how to overcome the situation

Kind regards
