Figure 100. Security Disable Password command (F6h)
The Security Disable Password command disables the security mode feature (device lock function).
The Security Disable Password command requests a transfer of a single sector of data from the host
including information specified in Figure 101. Then the device checks the transferred password. If the
User Password or Master Password matches the given password, the device disables the security mode
feature (device lock function). This command does not change the Master Password which may be
reactivated later by setting User Password. This command should be executed in device unlock mode.
