I can't reformat my WD My Passport Drive

After giving up because I can’t remember my password.I resort to formatting the Drive and now I can’t reformat it. I installed WD Drive Utilities and after inputting 5 pw attempts, I then proceed to erasing the drive and now It just says wd format failed and on windows it says the last usb device is unrecognized and etc. Any Help?

Hello,

Try formatting it using disk management.
