ThinkPad USB Secure Hard Drive - 320GB (Part 43R2023 / FRU 43R2025)

[mark27b]

Does anyone know the factory set default passcode and default admin code for the 320GB 43R2025? The user manual doesn't seem to be on the lenovo site only the 320GB 43R2019 does

Thanks

123456 is normally the default pass but I don't know if it's different for the 320 Gb.

The default password is given in the manual (apparently 123456) and appears same for both drives.

Hi I have one of these drives and while it was working fine this morning, all of the sudden it has apparently become un-initialized. It does not show in Windows Explorer (XP SP3). It shows in Remove Hardware correctly. Opening Disk Management fires off the Wizard to initialize new disks. I have tried it on 3 different computers. As I understand it, if initialize this disk I will lose all my data. This drive was only manufactured 11 months ago.

I got it fixed witrh some reocvery software. It has been in a box for months and now, it appears bricked. The red LED won't even come on. Thoughts anyone?
