I simply don’t have enough storage space in my home to back this thing up otherwise. If that’s the case I may have to go with buying another drive to copy everything to. Is it possible that damage to the filesystem on the disk could be causing my “Invalid Password” issues? Before I killed chkdsk it had found some bad sectors. My question is, is there a way to forcibly remove the password since the drive is already unlocked, or do I have to copy 3.5 TB of data somewhere else, nuke the drive, and then restore it?ĮDIT: I just had a thought.
I’ve tried minor misspellings of the parts of my passphrase but I’m not hitting on anything. It was running unusually slowly so I decided to try unencrypting the drive first and ran into trouble when the WD Security app told me “Invalid Password”. I discovered this when I had a consistency issue with a couple of files on the drive and ran chkdsk. Unfortunately, that saved password doesn’t seem to work. Fortunately for me, I also set the drive to auto-unlock for my user account on my computer and I’m not completely locked out of the drive. When I created my password I saved it in my password manager. P.S : Before the external hard drive had this issue I was using it and it is working fine, I checked my recycle bin and I’m trying to restore a file(I don’t know if it was from the file of the external hard drive), it did not restore, so i tried to just erase all the files from the recycle bin and i also tried copying a file from the external to a flash drive then my OS(Windows 8.1) just malfunctioned(Not a bluescreen, It just turns black but I can still access control-alt-delete options) so I plugged out the External Drive and Hard reboot the laptop then I tried to use the External drive again and this problem occured.I have a situation that is a bit different from your standard “I forgot my password” issue. Is there any chance that its problem is just a corrupted data? What seems to be the problem of the External HDD ? I wanted to try to use chkdsk to fix if it is just a corrupted data but i don’t want to take risk to let the external drive to be plugged in overnight because of the chance that the hardware may be the problem because I have a huge files and also important files on it. I tried other laptop but the problem still persist
MY PASSPORT STUDIO USER MANUAL The WD Drive Unlock utility screen displays: 3. Select the Volume Format option for the drive: HFS+J. If you want to change the volume name, type a new name in the Volume Name box. I tried opening WD Drive Utilities and WD Smartware, Both can detect the WD unlocker but when i tried to unlock it by using both Utilites and Smartware It says that the password is not correct, when i tried unlocking the drive then opening the Utilities and Smartware both cannot detect the drive. : Using The Wd Drive Unlock Utility MY PASSPORT STUDIO USER MANUAL 4.
