Would be nice if there was a reset button on it. So my Mac is detecting it on some level, but possibly the software with the WD hard drive is corrupt. Update: I went in to System information (Press and hold the Option key on your keyboard, and click the Apple menu () and click on USB and saw that my in one of the USB ports was My Passport 0XXX. Has anyone experienced this problem and know the solution? THe hard drive doesn't appear in finder or disk utility (some people are reporting it appears in disk utility but it is locked), but it still turns on and makes a really nice sound like it's running. I followed various suggestions, but nothing has worked.

I also found page after page of discussions about how to fix the problem, but most of it doesn't make sense to me.
MY PASSPORT FOR MAC LOCKED DRIVER
I downloaded the new driver but to no avail. I did a search a came up with this which is a link to a reported problem and fix from WD. I've pulled an absolute blank as to when I updated, could have been a couple of months ago, and since I haven't used the hard drive in a few months it would make sense that I'm only experiencing the problem now.

I did a search around and it seems the problem is related to an update to 10.9 on my Mac. If you aren't in law enforcement, and you're trying to access someone else's data, then the encryption is doing exactly what it's supposed to do by keeping you out of a place you don't belong.I've had a WD 1TB (WDBBXV0010BBK-01) since around 2012 and have had no problems up until the last few days. If you're a member of law enforcement, it should be easy enough to figure out what the "usual password" is by serving up warrants to other accounts they have online, or by analyzing passwords saved in their computer browser, etc. I'm guessing that whoever put in the hint of "the usual password" knows what the password is. However that doesn't mean someone couldn't buy one online and have it shipped into the country. For the few where this type of encryption is illegal, WD sells models where the encryption has been disabled. In most civilized countries this is perfectly legal today. I am going to start a criminal procedure against them.
In my opinion, under Spanish Criminal Code, WD business is ilegal. The software would not recognize at all any password. It's a shot in the dark but has anyone worked with the newer USB3 connected drives and would you know if bypassing the WD Unlock is possible with this setup. It's now my understanding that MHDD is unable to assist unless we're dealing with an ATA drive and I've a hunch that a USB3 to SATA convertor cable won't help our situation either.
The test drive that worked had a SATA interface but the customer drive has a USB3 connector soldered onto the PCB.
In prep for trying to bypass the security we've set a password on a different drive (one of our techs), used MHDD and successfully recovered the password from the. The situation is all legit as he has provided us with a drive receipt and he's essentially wanting the pictures of his former dog recovered. I am an IT tech and I have a customer's WD My Passport 1TB drive which he's locked with the drive lock software & forgotten the password.
Most PDFs can be unlocked Files with an owner password can be unlocked instantly. An express 'thank you' to anyone who can confirm whether or not this might be possible. It doesnt matter if you use Mac, Windows or Linux.
