I do not know if its the Phoenix BIOS security, or what but I can let you know that IF you have a Laptop that is listed with the 'Bios master password generator' and it was locked with your current laptop or PC. I have tried many combinations with MHHD, ATAPWD, and Hiren BOOTCD, to try to unlock manually with software but no luck. So I tried to unlock it with InsydeH2O, and I get passed the HDD password screen and then I get a 'Not a Boot-able Disk error'. It was locked with Phoenix Bios with my Gateway laptop. Well for the grand finale, I have a Seagate Momentus 7200.2 Family, and it locked with an ATA password not under MAX. You all might be wondering, What if you do not know what BIOS installed the lock, and tried to unlock it with InsydeH2O? This guy is nuts, password is stored in platters not bios, or is it? I still have not tried a two different PC/Laptops with Insyde H2O to see if they are interchangeable and unlock-able. Once the master password is inserted, it will erase any security on the drive by the BIOS.

This will work with this 'InsydeH2O Bios' 10 out of 10 times, IF YOU HAVE THE PC/LAPTOP and THE DRIVE THAT WAS LOCKED BY InsydeH2O.

If you where never able to unlock it, and removed the drive 100 hundred times and inserted it back, it will still generate the same HASH code. The funny thing is that I noticed once you unlock the drive or a drive that did not unlock, it will give you a new Error Code for the bios. Then, your master password will be given to you. It will tell you to insert the master password and give you a 8 digit Key. Then it will ask you for the 8 digit code Hash / error code thats given when you insert the wrong password 3 times, and try to unlock it with 'Unlock' in the menu. Here you will get a command prompt, were you will enter '7' for InsydeH2O bios. The program is only visible if you run and load the HBCD Menu in Mini Windows XP under the password section. Hiren BootCD (usb preferably) 14.0 with BIOS 'Master password Generator'. I found a way to unlock the password of any drive that the HDD ATA password was stored with this certain BIOS. I have a Acer Aspire One with InsydeH20 Bios version 3.50 if I can recall. I tried many tools for the Phoenix Bios and no luck.

I have manage to unlock the password of any HDD if its compatible with the BIOS error code master password generator.
