Question 1

Is this drive password protected or can that be bypassed? I have had a WD 2TB ext HD lock me out!

Accepted Answer

The drive should not be password protected.  The only thing that comes to mind is the WD file that comes with the drive.  It is possible if that file is deleted, it could lock the drive.  This is only an assumption.  If losing the data is an option, I believe reformatting the drive would resolve the issue.  I can't confirm or deny it would work, I can only assume.

Question 2

The title says 4 TB but package contents says 2 TB.  Please clarify?

Accepted Answer

When I bought this item from this listing, the hard drive I received was indeed 4 TB. Keep in mind, the actual usable space is usually somewhat less than advertised (I think mine has about 3.6 - 3.7 GB of usable space, when formatted), but this is generally always the case when buying hard drives. Hope that helps.
