I wanted to remove encryption from my Buffalo external hard drive.  I was using the Secure Lock Manager Easy software that came with my hard drive.  I opened the software, clicked Disable encryption, and it did it!

MUCH TO MY SURPRISE my hard drive was now empty!  There were no warnings that this would format my drive!!!

I am using file recovery software with some success.  I can recover files--but I can not view them.  I'm assuming the recovered files are still encrypted.

Is there a way to decrypt these files??  or are they forever lost?

It does actually warn you, not once, not twice but 3 times that the data will be erased.
PM me for TFTP / Boot Images / Recovery files  LSRecovery.exe file.
Having network issues? Drop me an email: info@interwebsireland.com and we will get it fixed!

Have i helped you? Buy me a coffee as a thanks!
