Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I had the exact same problem/question and got a nonsense response that gave me a link that addressed a bunch of nothing. It appears this WD model cannot be password protected /locked. Like you, my older WD always asks for my password but not this one. I deduced it’s not supposed to from what I read. I’m erasing mine and using it for a shiny paperweight.
