WD_BLACK nvme SN770 Frozen 'cause Admin Password

Firmware
10

Okay, here are preliminary instructions, which assumes the locking SP is active:

  1. Download and extract sedutil, which contains sedutil-cli, then change to its directory:

https://github.com/Drive-Trust-Alliance/exec/blob/master/sedutil_LINUX.tgz?raw=true

tar -xf sedutil_LINUX.tgz
cd sedutil/Release_x86_64
  1. Use sedutil-cli with the --revertTPer argument to reset your NVMe drive to factory defaults:
sudo ./sedutil-cli --revertTPer password /dev/nvme0

The password parameter should be the SID password, which is likely the password you currently know.
