WD 3TB disk locked

[Debjyoti Banerjee]

Can you help me linus with how to unlock my WD 3TB drive whose PCB got destroyed and now I am not able to unlock it?
I just want the disk to be functional again without any Master lock. I just do not care about data. I tried doing some unlocking using a password that looks like WDWDWDWDWDWDW.......... but still no solution.

Is there a way please help me out?

SOL dude. You might be able to send it a reformat command, but it won't listen to it if there is a password present. You might be able to short the nvram on it, but that might also just kill the firmware.

The PCB board that comes with the WD passport, is non functional and my hard drive is locked.
