Program "WD Security" on LINUX

Hi guys!

I have a big problem!
I have two hard drives WESTERN DIGITAL MY PASSPORT, and I activated the hardware encryption.
I have changed the operating system, I had previously Windows and now I have LINUX.

My big problem is: how do I use the program WD SECURITY (which is essential to decrypt the hard disk) ON LINUX ???
I have not found an alternative program, and there is no version for Linux.
The program does not work either using emulators for Windows programs, such as WINE.

How can I solve my problem?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hello,

Please note that WD Security is not compatible with LINUX. I recommend you connect the drive to a windows computer and eliminate the security on it.
