SanDisk SSD asking for drive password after performing Secure Erase

Each time a Secure Erase command is issued to a drive, the SanDisk SSD Dashboard sets a temporary password on the drive. The default temporary password is set to "sandisk123" OR"ssd123" OR "test". If the secure erase completes successfully, this password is removed from the drive automatically. However, if power is removed or lost during the erase operation, the temporary password may not be cleared properly.
To unlock the SSD, enter the temporary password sandisk123 OR ssd123 OR test

Customer should enter the bios and there should be a screen for hard drive / SSD password
