Solve : Encryption Lock Out? |
|
Answer» Have been successfully using StorageCrypt encryption software to protect data on a portable WD 1 terabyte HARD DISK for more than a year. Recently, a power failure caused a line spike that shut down the system that it was attached to. After that the password to the WD disk failed to work. Tried all the obvious methods to make it respond with no SUCCESS. StorageCrypt support has been useless, maybe because he has no way of knowing whether I'm a HACKER or a legitimate user. There is valuable data on that disk that I would prefer not to lose, but if it is necessary, I would ACCEPT re-formatting so I could, at least, recover the use of the hardware. All attempts to recover or format have been unsuccessful because the encryption prevents the system from recognizing the drive. Does anyone have a fix for this? |
