I've never used this stuff, Joanne, but I know people who have, which

You may have to specify "--user-master m --set-security-password
thepassword --security-mode h" to actually set it, and if it's already
set, I don't know that you can change it. You could try "hdparm
--security-help" for details on what it expects.
As all of these commands are considered "dangerous", I'd only play with
them on a drive you can afford to turn into a doorstop or paperweight
if things go wrong.
Who is Joanne???!
Why do you assume my name Joanne?
