Help!! I can’t use my passport until I either re-format or re-set the password. Can anyone help me?

There is no reset for the password. Taking the drive out of enclosure won’t work either. The board with the USB port on it applies hardware encryption. Any data recovered that way will be useless. If you can’t figure out the password you are out of luck.
