matrices - Determinant of a symmetric Toeplitz matrix

Let An=(aij) be an n×n matrix such that aii=0,aij=2 when |ji|=1, and aij=1 otherwise. The question is to find the determinant in terms of n. I computed the first six terms, depending on n, but, unfortunately, no clear relationship was found. Here they are:
detA1=0,detA2=4,detA3=8,detA4=7,detA5=0,detA6=7.


Laplace expansion turned out to be useful only if n is known. How can one derive a formula for detAn in terms of n?
