My book for Mac 1TB wont unlock

When going to unlock my hard drive using the WD Unlocker, I am told “the drive is not locked. To unlock a different drive, please open the WD smartware CD associated with the desired drive, and then run the unlock application to unlock the drive.”

I was not provided a CD with the hard drive, the WD Smartware was installed from the hard drive.

I set up the password yesterday using WD Smartware and had no problems, locking and unlocking the drive.

Since completing a back up with time machine, I am having this problem.

The drive is not visible when opening WD Smartware.

Please advise on what to do.

Thanks,

Alex

What drive do you have?

The My Book for Mac does not have an Smartware app for Mac only for Windows

You can continue to backup files with Time Machine
