Unknown password on my 3TB My Book external drive

I have a 3TB WD My Book external USB HDD that has an unknown password on it. I never set one up to my knowledge. When I re- imaged my PC, I was instructed to enter my password to unlock it. What is the procedure to finding the password, so that I can access my hard drive.

Please see Knowledge Base ID17304, or search “password”. There is NO way to reset the password. Try to recall what you might have used originally.

Also, you may have simply hit Enter, in which case that MIGHT be your password.

Good LUCK,

Cliff

Hmmm, I found another Knowledge Base entry that may help: Id3553, if you have My Book World.
