[SOLVED]help with opal admin password in self encrypt device

Hi

Aftear reading all of this https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Self-encrypting_drives I'm trying to do the full hardware encryption, but using the cryptsetup method.  Since this is a new ssd, I need to setup a Opal admin password, and for that i need to do cryptsetup-erase, and for that i need the OPAL PSID.

I'm a bit confuse in this. How could I get the OPAL PSID ? And how could I get the original Opal admin password ? Consider that the ssd is a new one.

How could I get the OPAL PSID?

The PSID code can be found on the physical hard drive (the code must be written without any spaces or underscore).

Did you look on the drive?

Cheers,

I don't know how could I miss that. Thank you very much for quoting that. You made my day.
