its a 2.5" IDE drive that came out of a Nav unit I'm trying (read was)
to reverse engineer. The same radio without the navigation option had no
password and loaded right up when I plugged it into my USB adapter. This
one I plug in and get zilch nada so finally I took a laptop and slapped
this thing in there and it asks for a password to access the drive.
Three tries and it aborts :\

locked with what? as far as i know, there aren't any hard drives that
have passwords. maybe external cases, or hard drives with certain
filesystems, but IDE, SATA and SCSI don't support passwords just to
mount them.
