How to clear Security Frozen state?

Hi, did you ever solve this?? I’m currently facing the exact same issue.

I took 2 WD Red drives out of an old QNAP NAS and zero’d them. One of them works perfectly fine but the other is in the “security frozen” state just like yours. I’ve tried all the relevant apps on PartedMagic but none of them can see it or will even freeze trying to.

Very annoying.
