•When the user password is selected
The password is compared with the user password already set. If the passwords are the same, LOCKED MODE is canceled. Otherwise, the Aborted Command error is returned.
If the password comparison fails, the device decrements the UNLOCK counter. The UNLOCK counter initially has a value of five. When the value of the UNLOCK counter reaches zero, this command or the SECURITY ERASE UNIT command causes the Aborted Command error until the device is turned off and then on. Issuing this command with LOCKED MODE canceled (in UNLOCK MODE) has no affect on the UNLOCK counter.
