Bootloader locked / Self Encrypting Drive - SSD - PSID REVERT

[JamesTheGreat]

I just wanted to share my experience incase it could help someone else.

 

I picked up a used 480gb NVME SSD the other day from Ebay for $15.. Found out that It was boot locked using WinMagic SecureDoc.. 

After a bit of digging i found the following works to PSID revert the drive.   You will need  (and to follow) the following:

1) PSID # off the SSD drive

2) USB Thumb Drive

3) Download the Rescue Image Software from https://github.com/Drive-Trust-Alliance/sedutil/wiki/Test-the-Rescue-system

(I found following their instructions on creating the bootable USB was easy)

4)once booted to the usb drive login using the name "ROOT"

5)Use the (no "") "sedutil-cli -–scan" command to find your locked drive

6)Use the "sedutil-cli --query /dev/nvme0" (Dev/????"whatever your drive is) and this will tell you if it's locked.

7)To Unlock (CASE SENSITIVE) "sedutil-cli --yesireallywanttoERASEALLmydatausingthePSID XXXX(PSID GOES HERE)XXXXXXXXXXXXX /dev/nvme0"

8)If it worked: you'll get a message that says "Revert Completed Successfully"

 

I hope this help anyone else who may encounter this problem.
