If "default" passwords don't work you will have to pay for a pro to unlock it ...
Is the data inside the drive important for you ?
If you read this forum carefully you will figure out that WD drives can accept a "ATA SPECIFIC VENDOR COMMAND" or "Key" that will allow you to access the firmware and read modules, etc ....
The beauty of it ... it can BYPASS ATA PASSWORD

the data on the drive is unimportant

If you care for the data only i might know of a little trick that i can tell you to allow you access to the drive for the time needed to copy the data out of it to another unlocked drive.

I'm working with a WD drive which is locked using BIOS. The problem is I'm more into forensics so I need the drive intact. I also got this hex
- Code:
AD6F 4C24 375E A213 F1CA 862F
but I cannot transfer it into plain text.
P.S: I also have a PC3k Portable if this tool is of use.
