The other day I talked about the importance and difficulty of passwords. However passwords can also interfere with your work.
I do not know the password, so I have to abandon or disposal the contents(e.g. data)of the research development system of the predecessor.
If this "predecessor" is another person, I can give up, but if the "predecessor" is "old myself", I'm really crying at that time.
If this happens, I have no choice but to give up with saying "I'll give up my previous research results, so I only need to be able to use my research assets."

In the case of IT research, in most cases, there are many cases where the contents of the hard disk can not be retrieved.
In such a case, "format a hard disk" will make the hard disk reuse.
However, recent hard disk passwords have made it impossible to even format the hard disk.
In fact, I tried using various software and dedicated devices, but I was unable to initialize the hard disk by those methods.
This is quite disappointing as an engineer.
I am going to think that "I will format the hard disk at any cost"

But I gave up.
At this kind of battle, even if I win, I will lose totally.
The cost (especially time) is not reasonable at all.
After all, I purchased a hard disk from Amazon.
In addition to the amount on the hard disk, we must not fight for goods that have a fixed delivery date for the “next day delivery”.

If I say, like Lupine III's Zenigata-style,
"Amazon stole something important as your engineer It is "your pride"
That is it.
