I would like to gain access to a hard drive that I got locked out of. I can show proof of ownership if you'd like. I've heard of brute forcing hdd's and installed john the ripper. Now I believe I need to get my hands on the hash file which contains the password.
What are your preferred methods of doings so. It is a 60$ ssd that I would like to crack out of interest more than anything else, but also need.
I tried calling support 8 times. Got answered twice and their reactions were odd. I was asked to call other numbers and no one knew anything about ssd support nor where to find it.

If this SSD was locked by firmware, you will have a few attempts (3 to 5) to be able to guess/brute-force it, after that firmware will erase everything on it, so forget about john-the-ripper :)
If you simply want to unlock your drive(accepting that everything will be removed), look here:
