if you want to access your data … then you’re outta luck. read my post here
i suppose you could pay a data recovery company to retrieve your files for a cost $$

if you don’t care about losing your data … just format it

if there is a will there’s a way
Using wondershare data recovery i am geting all my files and can use the hard drive after recovering files and formatting the drive… Excellent … Muajajaja
