Hello,
I have a 250GB WD software hard disk which is password protected, the passport has automatically changed about 4 months ago and I tried everything to somehow recover the password but I was not able to do it. so now I need the hard disk and I don’t care about the files in the hard disk, I just wanna format it.
Is there anyway to format a password protected hard disk?!
Any help would be very much appreciated…
You need to have smartware installed on the computer
enter the wrong password 5 times and it will prompt you to power cycle and try again
when you try five more wrong attempts it will give you the option to erase the drive
