WD my book 8tb having trouble setting it up

My 8tb my book wont show up on my Mac. On the WD app on my computer it comes up but it says theres a password and I dont believe I ever made a password. When i try to erase the drive to reset it, it will start to erase the drive but it gets about 3/4 of the way and never goes further. Any helo would be appreciated
