Surely by now WD has come up with a solution for this?
What is the point of supplying an encryption system that can only be operated by someone with Admin rights?
I am right, this is a hard drive/software manufacturer right?
Your post sounds more like a good Feature Request; best placed in the Ideas Exchange section. This way someone from WD will be sure to see it and will allow more users to support your idea. However, I would first search and make sure that there are no other active Feature Requests suggesting the same or similar improvements. If there is, then you could add your post and vote on it.

I have found a solution. Install Encryptstick 6.0 on the WD drive and
ignore their pathetic software!!
