See the atactl(8) manpage, in particular the sec* commands. However, I don't believe these harddisks actually encrypt all data on the disk, so it's not really a security measure. By zapping the firmware, or triggering some other magic switch, you're probably always able to unlock these disks. [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature]
