If the Identifier bit is set to master and the drive is in high security level, then the supplied password will be
compared with the stored master password. If the drive is in maximum security level, then the SECURITY
UNLOCK command will be rejected.

If the Identifier bit is set to user, the drive compares the supplied password with the stored user password.
If the drive fails in comparing passwords, then the drive returns an abort error to the host and decrements the
unlock counter. This counter is initially set to five and will be decremented for each mismatched passwords
when SECURITY UNLOCK is issued and the drive is locked. When this counter is zero, SECURITY
UNLOCK and SECURITY ERASE UNIT commands are aborted until the next power-on reset or hard reset.
SECURITY UNLOCK commands issued when the drive is unlocked have no effect on the unlock counter.
