  It uses old depricated IDE API for ATA Security security which is not evailable anymore in latest Ubuntu kernels.

  Following commands does not work:

  hdparm --security-set-pass

  hdparm --security-disable

  For example:
  hdparm --security-disable xxx /dev/sdb
  ----------
  security_password="xxx"

  /dev/sdb:
   Issuing SECURITY_DISABLE command, password="xxx", user=user

  
  The running kernel lacks CONFIG_IDE_TASK_IOCTL support for this device.
  SECURITY_UNLOCK: Invalid argument
  ---------------

  Please update the package from latest source
