Before this long vacation, I got an old HDD which is password protected. So I took it to my country house at the beginning of this vacation, and has run a special fiscal HDD eliminator. to break the password.

However, the process has been working until now, the latter half of this long vacation.

There is no help for it. I stopped the process and tried a reboot again, but after all the password was required.

In short, I failed to the process.

-----

In fact, I had succeeded the HDD password elimination about ten years ago, but this time, I didn't do same process.

I feared the BIOS crash of PC by the process.

In addition, I have already bought another old HDD from Amazon for 800 yen during the period of this vacation, and sent it to my country house directly. Now the PC system is working perfectly.

"800yen" v.s. "a risk of PC destruction about CMOS". It is beyond comparison.

The correct answer is "giving up the process of HDD password elimination and disposing of the HDD".

I didn't have this thought ten years ago, I think.

If there was a technical problem, I was not afraid of "even possibility to break a PC" for the problem solution.

I am absolutely smarter than what I was ten years ago.

I think that I have made a right decision.

However, what is on earth this "a feeling that I lost" ?
