Subject: RES: Break a virtual drive

Dear Dhiru Kholia,

Thank you for the new information. I really apreciate it aus till now I have no success in this matter and still have my Samnsung partially locked by a encrypted password. I saw in Github.com that there is some discussions about this topic, for example "decrypt-msr-files-v2.py". Although I work with IT, I am not a developer anymore...so not familiar with new languages and technicks. As far as I could understand the code was written in python but I don't know this language. If it´s the case of installing a compilator and compile the code in my note I think I can do but I would apreciate some guidelines to do this job and finally access my external HD Samsung.
Could you indicate this steps to help me or any documentation to make it easier to me ?

Thanks a lot,

Alexandre

I thought to use a "brute force" software but have read that would need a dump archive and have no idea how to extract it from the HD software.

This thread has a happy ending.

Check out https://github.com/kholia/SecretZone project.

This allows one to decrypt any MSR file without any password.
