My hard drive is not recognising my correct password

I have had my WD Elements hard dirve for a year now and it does this occasionally, where it doesn’t recognise the correct password but it resolves itself usually after a few goes but this time it hasn’t after hundreds of goes. So I put the correct password in (trust me I have it correct) and then it just shakes and doesn’t open the harddirve??? I desperately need to access all the data from it. Any ideas or tips.

Try posting / searching the correct forum.

This is posted in the My Passport WiFi drive forum.

But to ask a question in return, WD Elements aren’t password protectable by hardware – so exactly how are you password protecting it?
