T61 locked my SSD
Posted: Wed Jun 23, 2010 3:52 pm
Hi,
Few days ago I got new Intel 80GB SSD (Lenovo branded with Lenovo's P/N) to upgrade my thinkpad T61, after I tried few times cloning my old drive (with dual boot, and I wanted to clone only one partition) I decided that it's better to do a clean install (win7), before I did it I thought that it's better to secure erase the SSD to get the best performance from the SSD, I read that I can do it from the BIOS so I updated the BIOS with this tool and I started the process, I got this message: "erasing now, it can take about 1 minute ....), after few hours ( 6-8) it stopped and the system shut down, after that the SSD got locked, I never used a password for the HD or for the BIOS, I have no idea what is the password.
I will appreciate any help
