(I assume this is an internal drive.) Did you try to completely shut down and restart your system? It seems SP_BUSY is usually given if there is already a session going on with the drive that wasn't terminated properly. sedutil doesn't have a command to check that, but power-cycling the drive (so system reboot is not enough) should do it.

You might also be unlucky and run into some kind of rare bug. If power-cycling the drive doesn't help, that might be the case? What drive do you have and how is it connected to the system, just out of curiosity?

EDIT: Actually I just saw that this starts with NOT_AUTHORIZED. (Wrong password? You need the Admin1Password here.) But you shouldn't really be getting SP_BUSY after that unless the session wasn't properly closed. So this might really be some kind of bug. But try the power-cycling first.

Is there important data on the drive you can't lose? Otherwise you could also just go for a PSID revert.

Thank för answering! You were right, power cycling solved it.

No, there was no important data, this was a used drive bought on ebay.
