From a quick google they appear to be very different, but I guess it gives hope for some users, and if anyone ever found themselves in this situation it would be worth just buying a new HDD, restoring what they can from a backup, and then parking it in the hope that someone might crack it one day.

Unsolvable?: Just throw your computer out the window, checking first no one is below (did it, done it, gives great satisfaction as it hits the pavement with a bang), and go out and buy a new one
