HDD Locked

[GamezR2EZ]

Ok, im new to soft modding (since last thursday ) and i need some help. When preparing my 160gb HDD using xboxhdm v1.9 everything went great, got in on the xbox and it worked and everything. But then my friends xbox crashed (his fault not mine) i managed to hotswap it and retrive the eeprom (he had already backed it up) then unlock his HDD. Anyway when looking it to my xbox using my EEPROM and xboxhdm v1.9 the program crashed while it was locking. I started it backup and it was locked, just not with my EEPROM key. So i need to either figure out the password (fat chance) or strip it off completely. I would rather not format it but if i have to i would. Can you guys offer any assistance?

The eeprom supplied password
will be set and a Master Password 'XBOXSCENE'. You can use this to unlock
the HDD if you loose the eeprom password you your eeprom gets lost.
Boot the xboxhdm to DOS (option 4) and run the atapwd tools to unlock
using Master passwords.
