Western Digital password encryption

I have this WD external hard drive, I encrypted it with password. It was when I was using Monterey.


I updated to Ventura and after some week plugged my hard drive in but it is not accepting my password, not mounting.


Anyone else facing this problem? WD said its apple issues.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.14
