Hi there, thanks for this projectc first of all,

We got a WD SmartWare MyBook 1TB in the family for quite some time (10 years min). The disk is encrypted through a password that has never been changed, written on a post-it stick to the case of the disk :smile:

But last month, when entering the password to access the drive, i got a bad password prompt. It was working fine, on the same computer (windows 11) three month ago.

I'm trying to run reallymine to access the data in a last hope, but i keep getting this error :

❯ lsblk -o NAME,MODEL,SIZE,TRAN                       
NAME        MODEL              SIZE TRAN
sdf         My Book 1110     930,9G usb
...

And for the reallymine part :

~/go/bin 
❯ sudo ./reallymine getdek /dev/sdf
[sudo] password for val: 
error running getdek: read /dev/sdf: input/output error

The dmesg show me this :

Any help is welcome, after a quick google search, i dont know what to do.

Thanks
