Question Unlocking a password protected hard disk

Yesterday the Toshiba hard disk in my mp3 player displayed an error message which indicates that the disk has become password locked.
I looked on my usual mp3 guru's website which had a link to a program (atapwd.exe) that unlocks disks. Great I thought.
Unfortunately it won't unlock mine. This program also is supposed to erase the entire disk if all else fails. Unfortunately that doesn't work either.
I don't mind losing the disk's contents as I have them backed up in 2 other places!
Any ideas?
