My understanding is that after 5 failed attempts at keying the password, the WD locks the drive. YOu then have to go through a power on sequence which gives you another 5 attempts at putting the password in. After that you have to reformat the drive and lose all the data if you want to use the drive.
It is very likely the hard drive is locked to the application that was transferring the file from laptop to the hard drive.
Try to follow some of the steps in the unlock drive section of this webpage.
