You must have the password. If you do not, you should dispose of the drive properly.

Hi ASolo15,

Thank you for contacting Intel® SSD support group.

We have reviewed your inquiry and unfortunately we can’t be of help, there’s no Master Key or any other kind of unlocking tool provided by Intel® for this purpose.

Please let us know if we can offer any additional assistance.
