I can't access my drive as well. Asked me for a password, which I never set, now I am assuming it is locked. Over 15 years worth of data on this drive, which I purchased because my PC head drive crashed.
If I initialize (as it is asking me to do in disk management) or format, is my data recoverable or an I screwed? I have project files for clients from my business as well, and I will have some very upset clients if I lose everything. These are original designs that can't just be recreated. Please help!

I'd strongly advise you against initializing the drive as the data might be even harder to recover, if you do so! Have you tried accessing the drive using a different USB cable or a different computer? I'd suggest you to try that as well, maybe it's just your system that's having trouble recognizing the drive.
