Hey there :) Welcome to the forum! 

 

How long have you had this drive? How was it used before? Do you have any BIOS settings that encrypt or set passwords on your internal drives? Do you have any data on this drive? 

If you don't have anything on the drive you can try opening it with WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostic and perform a complete Write Zeros function which will erase everything from the drive and possibly remove any password or encryption that's present on it (unless the drive's encryption prevents you from doing this).

If this helped you, like and choose it as best answer - you might help someone else with the same issue. ^_^
