Western Digital's hard drive encryption is useless. Totally useless

Re: If it's easy...

I'm in the same boat. I want to access my lost files.

I have purchased the same WD My Book enclosure off of Ebay (since it should be able to read the drive once back on the same WD circuit board apparently). Until the enclosure arrives I will be trying to access the drive by hooking it directly to my computer.

I'll be doing some more research to see if I can "hack" the drive prior to the new enclosure arriving.
