Hi,Yes in terminal:Code: [Select]sudo apt-get install sg3-utilsThe next part not sure how to proceed, maybe somebody else might know..??I'm only guessing that it will just "unlock" the disk, and leave contents intact.
sudo apt-get install sg3-utils
git clone https://github.com/KenMacD/wdpassport-utils.git
Is it just locked with a password, or is the whole drive encrypted?Is there an OS on the disk, or just file storage?Some of these disks when used for storage are set to hide themselves from the OS. It may not even show up in Windows other than in its original system.You may be able to access it with a Trinity Rescue Kit live CD, if you don't have a Windows OS available. I haven't used TRK for a while but you may be able to get at the disk with it. Check online to see if Aussie has something available for this situation. I use some of their tools (reg edit, defrag, etc.) occasionally with good success.TC
From the threads I linked... It appears you can only do it from Windows using the WD Tools.There was a mention in one of running the WD Tools in Wine... But there was no follow-up posts.??
If you mean it's been "Password Protected"..??Start with this "Thread"Then there's more "like these"Most seem to imply that you can only do it via WD Tools in Windows..!!!
