The option is right within the smartware software. I think you just have to type a wrong password enough times and it gives the option to secure wipe the drive and reset it.

He already gave me tons of advices without pointing me to hddoracle.

Your english rocks but it's strange the way you keep using caps lock in every word.

Jesus .... What do we have to teach to data recovery professionals nowadays ....

How to format a password protected (western digital) WD External Hard Drive :

(This is NOT HDDOra***.*** link)

http://www.myeasypc.info/index.php?opti ... &Itemid=55

Quote from the site :

■You will be prompted to enter the password
■Enter the password 5 times
■You will then be prompted with an option to delete/format the hard drive
■Tick the checkbox and proceed to format the disc
■The resultant external hard disc will be a clean formatted disc with no password protection software.

No Need i told you i do not need your advice pecially when you make fun of a guy with intent .As i told you i could research and figure this out .My friend data-medics was helpful enough
