If you don't already have an account, make one.
Then when you plug in your external harddrive, it will let you unlock and access all your information.
Also make sure your WD Utility software is up to date.
I had 3 external hard drives from over 15 years and was able to grab my info and pictures with no problem.
This works!
Happy Day for us WD external hard drive users who have been trying to access our external hard drives.
