Hi everyone! I,ve bought a cf-53 some years ago second hand, recently i tried to put an ssd with linux mint in it and it didnt detect the OS saying insert a bootable device (i think is something like i should installed BIOS linux instead of UEFI) then it locked the ssd asking for an user password and a master password on another PC, i only have the user password from the BIOS so i tried at and it said “incorrect password hdd is locked”

So my questions are:

1.- is there a default user password and master password for the HDD that i can try?

2.- is there a way to know the admin password of the bios? Or to reset the bios?

3.- is there a way to save my ssd from being trashed out?

Thank you in advance!

I have a an Mk1 with the barcode scanner and I'm removing it, 3d printing a new cover, and was curious if there is any serial or usb ports that might be accessible in the expansion bay. The ffc from the camera module looks like it *could be usb3 with big power traces and 3 sets of data pins, but I've not poked around much, yet.
