For some unknown reason my Essential external 3TBHDD won´t let me read its data. Once I unlock it it leads me directly to formatting as a solution and this is the last thing I want to do. I tried connecting it to another Pc and then to a friend´s mac. The thing will not open. I´ve been reading the forum and found this is a “normal” thing??? I´m really angry about losing some important data there and can´t believe at this day and age these things are happening. When I first installed it I went through the security password procedure and now I see it was a fatal mistake. It´s so frustrating having this kind of loss when we have all this technology available.
Can anyone tell me how I can recover my data or how to unlock the driver?
I´d really appreciate it.
