In the end, it all depends on if any security issues in the product make brute-forcing the password easier. It will be really hard and take long, but it might be possible: WD Smartware for example back in 2015 were easy to crack due to them using a non-cryptographic random number generator. The main question is if you have a fixed password scheme that you use for your passwords, and how good that is. Do you passwords contain things that are in a dictionary? What is your typical password length? What characters do you use, which don't you use? If you have a weak password scheme, it might be possible to automatically brute force. Which then gives the question if your drive does self-erase after multiple wrong passwords had been entered. In this case things become more complicated, as you'd have to try take an image of the encrypted drive first etc harddrive is crypted/protected with the buildin manufactor mechanism. This is probaly called WD smartware - i don't really know atm. I got just this informations by checking the S/N:Äescription: MY PASSPORT 4TB BLACK WORLDWIDEÄescription: MY PASSPORT ULTRA 4TB BLACK EMEA I have tried the online warranty status to get hopefully the production date.
