Dear Sir,

I have an external WD Passport 1TB and I have lost the password. I would like to know if you provide a professional service for password recovery or if you can help me to access the data on my hard drive.

Thank you,
Rabih

To answer this client:

For single hdd repair and data recovery case, Dolphin data recovery tools are not recommeneded but users can send the patient drive to the local data recovery service center with Dolphin data recovery tools.

For external WD Passport 1TB, if users forget password and wish to remove the password and access the data, users need to convert the USB to SATA interface and then connect the patient drive to DFL-WD hdd firmware repair tool, sometimes users need to short connect tv9 and tv10 to enter the WD firmware repair software and then access the firmware area to edit firmware modules to remove the password.

The best hard drive ROM chip readers are to save users’ time on soldering work, support new hard drive ROM chips’ read and write and protect the data drives’ PCB. Some improper or wrong soldering work may damage the chip or circuit and finally the PCB got dead.

Not all drives support hard drive rom chip direct read and write by pin connection without any soldering work but most drives do.

Dolphin hard drive rom readers contain both pin reader and chip socket reader:

For above patient ST4000LM024 HDD data recovery, users need to open the patient HDD in clean room, find donor heads and swap the heads with proper hdd head replacement tools to continue.

This is one very successful Western Digital SMR hard drive firmware repair and data recovery case study for one Dolphin user in India.

WD SMR Patient hdd id:

Model number-WD40EZAZ-00SF3B0
PCB number: 810011

WD SMR Patient hdd Failure symptoms:

Spin up and down and not possible to access data area

Firmware repair tools and data recovery tools used in this case study:

DFL-SRP for WD firmware repair tool
DFL-DDP data recovery equipment

WD SMR Patient hdd firmware repair and data recovery steps:

01: Backup up original WD SMR Patient hdd ROM by ROM chip pin reader;
02: Generate unlock rom by DFL-SRP for WD firmware repair tool;
03: Write unlock ROM to original 810011 PCB;
04: Connect PCB only, enter DFL-WD firmware repair software by kernel mode and then disable 411;
05: Install the PCB to patient HDD and backup key firmware modules, specially module 190;
06: Repair module 190(unique 190 repair assistant);
07: Fix SMR slow issue;
08: Auto load 190 to ram within DFL-DDP data recovery tool disk image setting;
