Western Digital Unlocker

[john_smith]

I have a friend with an WD Element drive, encrypted with the above software on a system that's no longer functioning...

Does anybody happen to have a copy or know where it can be found? WD don't appear to host it any more.

Thank you.

Edit, for those googling the same results as me...WD Discovery or Security does not work.

Cheers, I think his drive is too old to be seen by those newer programs. I haven't had hands on with it yet, just a message asking me if I could find the app.

I'm assuming a windows, mac or linux version would work to decrypt it.

Any idea what model the drive is? Ideally the model number too.

Thank you. I’ll give them a try.

OK, no luck with those. The links you sent through are from a database of startup programs glary has seen....rather than files it includes.

Yeah, windows sees the drive in device manager but no drive letter is showing.

*I've not had hands on with it yet, so it's entirely possible the drive has failed.
