Unlocking SSDs

Hey,

A friend of mine bought a ton of Nucs from a business that was moving, only problem is that the SSDs are password locked, is there any way to unlock them so we can clean them and try to resell? (I know doing a fresh install would wipe but neither of us have spare windows keys around and Im not experienced enough to use Linux or recommend it)

Connect the SSDs to a different PC and boot. Run this tool. Point the tool at the SSD's Windows folder.

Tons of ways you could do this, you don't really need a Windows CD.

 

Download Ultimate Boot CD or similar, boot to it, wipe the drives with provided tools.
