In case if password prompt appeared after TotalWipeout wiping process was interrupted (battery died, the power went down) try this:
The password is 'q' 8 times.
In Total WipeOut:
- press Alt+F2 to switch to console,
- type the command:
hdparm --user-master u --security-disable qqqqqqqq /dev/sda
or
hdparm --user-master u --security-unlock qqqqqqqq /dev/sda
where 'qqqqqqqq' is the password value.
- Press Alt+F1 to return back to BCWipe TWO screen.
If the drive was locked by BCWipe this should unlock it.
