Hi,
From a bit more Googling...
It does not matter what is on the disk, WD have implemented some of their "own code" in the disk hardware controller.
The WD Tools can access this on Windows/MAC... Simplest solution is to put the drive on Windows/MAC machine and un-lock...
I did find 1 reference, in "French" on doing something in directly in Linux, but is way beyond me.... code stuff
Open this link, in Google Chrome I right click the page and select translate...
NOTE: This was Ubuntu 12.04, so may not be valid any more..??
