Western Digital My Passport Pass Problem..

August 5th, 2011, 0:29

I have a "Western Digital My Passport SE" whose data are password protected.

I signed. The unit is accidentally unplugged, so when it is reconnected, I was prompted for a password. I entered, but all I get is the window that says "the password is incorrect"... I entered the correct password (I'm sure, for several reasons (use the same, before detaching it worked...)) Now I no longer have access to data ... Is there a solution to access data without losing them?

You can check this links for more informatin;

for WD passport password retries limitation which i guess 5 times
then ur drive will be locked (BAD) and will ask to format

in such case, if you exceed the 5 times retries (wrong password)
ur reaching a DEAD END am afraid
