As in you are willing to reinstall everything? Just boot from a usb flash drive using rufus and part magic older version.

Secure erase.

 

[vigorito]

And ssd password should be gonne?

 

[vigorito]

an error has occured,as a result the drive current state is preventing this script from completing the erase command.

perhaps consider assesing the drive smart health via gsmart control from the system tools menu or try the script again and chooose the default NULL password,which i choose offcourse

i check haealth its good,passed ufff any help now

I don't think it is mission impossible. Just more tinkering required. Were you able to put your machine into sleep and bring it back?

Worth a try.

Wait, how did OP password protect the M.2? We talking bitlocker, or is this via BIOS lock, or what?

You should be able to disable 'secure boot' in the BIOS, and then install the OS again on the M.2, or, if you want, install windows in another drive, then use Samsung's own program to secure erase the M.2.

I try insert locked drive into another notebook it ask again for user pass cant acces that drive at all,secure boot is off on both notebooks,i install sam. magician but program says unsupported drive! drive is not in frozen state

 

[sdifox]

Im really not sure

So try booting off windows dvd and when it asks where you want to install it, select the encrypted ssd and delete the partitions and create new ones.

 

[vigorito]

When i put locked ssd to a new notebook,its ask for a drive user pass right away,if i boot off usb win 10 installation goes and i cant select that disk its all gray out and i got error

There should be an option to go into partition management. Where you can delete all the partitions and create a new one.

Partition managment where?in booted os under disk managment or while im trying to make a clean install from bootable drive,its not in boot places,i can say that ssd health is good its not frozen even,and as i saw status od ssd on gparted live lixnux cd,there is no partitions on locked ssd its like 479gb of i forgot now name something like unformated or correct me if im wrong

use your win10 install usb and follow this and see how it goes. Around step 10 is where the partition management part shows up

[vigorito]

In a step of clean win install where i need to choose locked ssd(shows like 479gb unlocated drive) only option available is NEW,when i press it is working like 30sec and i got windows message windows cannot install on this drive and gives error,the first thing i tried in this problem was that

Get a linux boot flash drive, and execute

hdparm -I /dev/X

where X is the device for the drive in question, something like sdb or sda or whatever it is.
If you are unsure, use gparted (which should also be on that linux boot flash drive) and select the unit that was, and make note of what it is called.

Then, C&P that info here.

Im really not sure

Lets see here. New member wants help in cracking a safety feature on a drive that he claims is his but doesn't know how he encrypted his own data? Geez fellas you really fell for that one. I hope the actual owner of that drive can recover it.
