Stop to panic. You could remember your Pass word but you might of forgotten one important thing. Passwords are case sensitive. Did you use upper or lower cases when you did this one when you started off. Try to use both uppper lock for your password and also use the unlock lower case keys for it.
If this one fails well then you have some other options which are not really what you would like to hear. One is DR recovery they can unlock it and another is a program but you can lose all your data using this one. Last one is that WD PW lock was discuessed here for a long time and there is a major thread on this one. Use Search and see if this one helps you out.
