Trying to calm the nerves of a friend. They can't exactly remember their password after using Samsung Magician on their Windows 10 pc to enable hardware encryption on a Samsung T7 portable SSD. But if they felt confident they would be permitted to make like 20 or 30 guesses, then they could probably figure out their password. So, does the T7 permanently lock out users from making any further attempts after submitting a certain number of incorrect guesses?

After searching (including their user guide), I didn't find any mention of a max limit on attempts, which is a good sign, but I'd rather be sure before saying it's ok to go the brute force route.

(Edit - I am already aware the hardware can be rescued by sacrificing the data inside, but the goal is to rescue the data.)
