Accidentally Erased the Unlock on my Passport

Hello, I have a WD passport that I just deleted old files from to make new ones and I accidentally erased the unlock file. Now I cannot get into the Passport file. Any ideas on how I can get the unlock. I remember the password because I unlocked it to get in. When I went to get in this time, I couldn’t because the unlock file was gone.

Hi there,

Have you tried to install WD Security to see if this way you can have the drive unlocked?
