wd my passport unlock but directory does not appear

I am ready to pay you a reasonable amount for the help you do for me either decrypting the drive for me or helping me with few digits of the password so I can relate and enter the correct one.

any safe guards you can suggest to keep the drive safe ? ( while I follow your instruction of NOT to connect it to a Windows machine to keep the encrypted MBR safe ).

I am thinking of making an image backup of this Drive before we begin, any recommendations ? Should I make a full image of part ?.

Having the INIC 1607E chip, is it not possible to decrypt the drive while connected to Linux and copy the data ? If the CD option for WD SmartWare doesnt show, then we recommend trying the CD on another device and then removing the security from the drive.

OR if you can find a suitable cable / enclosure on amazon.in for me to buy, it will be a great help. In such case user can edit the ownership setting of the drive and make it accessible again. There are times when ownership of the drive gets change and make the owner restricted from accessing the drive. Do right click on the drive and check the ownership of that drive. Can I use a simple SATA-USB external drive enclosure like this OR do you want me to use something like this. I then got access to the drive and reset the password.WD SmartWare: WD SmartWare does not offer a direct download link for Mac users but you can find all software offered for Mac on their website under Software for Mac. Next, drag WD Drive Security Icon to the application folder. I am not sure if Team Viewer works with the same so I can give you remote access wherever possible. First, close the current version of the WD Drive Security.

Can I use Kubuntu 18.04.0 LTS to access the drive, please confirm so I can prepare the environment.
