Hi there and welcome to the WD community

Have you tried to connect the drive on a different computer to see if the password goes through?

I have the same problem with 4TB My Book. Sometimes the password hint is blank and somtimes my password hint is shown, but I’m never able to unlock the drive. It’s one month old now. I am also convinsed that I have the right password.
