Well, silverlining should work just fine. However, the SCSI disk mode idea
mentioned earlier is a good idea. Also, look on Symantec's web site to see
what their recommendations are. They ought to have a FAQ that states what to
do in the event that you forget your password. Chances are that you won't be
able to access the data currently on the drive, but it doesn't seem to be a
problem for you, anyway.

PS: go to poweronsoftware.com, they bought disklock...
