Please tell me 1 thing

I have a WD 500gb Passport Drive. 2 days back I use my drive and copy some data to my computer in the morning, after copying of my data I eject my drive properly (as usual). But after aprox half an hour I again plugged it in suddenly my computer asked me to format it before using. I have tried to connect it with some other computers but all the things goes wrong. Even I also changed the cable.

Here I would like tell you that I have set the password on my drive through WD supplied software for the protection of my precious data.

I have tried to access the drive through WinXP, Win2008 Advance Server, Win7 & Win8. But all are unsuccessful.

Please help me. I have all my business and confidential data in it. I don’t want to format it.

I have the same problem.Please help.
