I bought a 3 TB My Book. Unfortunately, I installed the WD utilities. That had the effect of making the drive useless, since it locks itself and prevents my backup software from writing to it. I reformatted the drive and uninstalled all the WD software that I could find, entered no password on the drive, and made a great attempt to treat the drive like a drive… just a drive. That fails. I need to know how to remove all and any WD security software permanently from the drive. If that is not possible I will have to return the drive, since this one is not reliably usable.
Thank you.
