Security Freeze MSATA 525 180GB

I have a MSATA ssd drive intel 525 180gb, I tried to make a secure erase, with linux live cd, for restore performance of SSD, failed secure erase, and now using Intel SSD Toolbox show me in the drive "a Security Freeze Lock is detected and the drive must be power cycled by unplugging and plugging in the drive", is very difficult do this with msata drive and in a laptop. I have tried several programs, without success.

Is There another way to unlock the drive?, I don't have desktop.

Thank you for your help.

regards

Victor

finally solved the problem, I used unlock command sudo hdparm --user-master u --security-unlock , where the password was "password", for default secure erase on parted magic put this one, the drive unlock, but i had to use secure erase with hdparm after unlocked, because if restarted the computer the drive lock again. thanks Ken and Bogdan
