Will that method erase my entire disk?

then install sg3-utils:      <----I'm done on this part not sure what's next.
sudo apt-get install sg3-utils

Not also sure where to put those codes.

Hi,
Yes in terminal:

Code:

sudo apt-get install sg3-utils

The next part not sure how to proceed, maybe somebody else might know..??
I'm only guessing that it will just "unlock" the disk, and leave contents intact.

Okay, if I got no help. Is it possible to undo what I've done?

Yes, in a terminal:

Code:

sudo apt-get remove sg3-utils

That should remove it.
or
Open Synaptic Package Manager, search for the package you want to remove, sg3-utils
click on the checkbox next to it and select "mark for removal", click "Apply", the package should be removed.

Sometimes applications can also install multiple packages...
To make sure that you uninstall all related packages and configuration files,
You can type in a terminal:

Code:

sudo apt-get purge sg3-utils

or
Open Synaptic Package Manager, and "mark for complete removal" instead of just "mark for removal".

Thank you so much! I'll wait for awhile. Thank you for being so responsive and helpful.
