Unlocking without password

Welcome to the Community. Unfortunately, permanently removing the password will require for you to manually input the password. If you no longer remember it then what you can do is to trigger the lock mechanism to erase the entire drive alongside the password. Please refer to page 56 of User’s Manual for instructions.
