Unlock WD Password Protected HDD in Linux

Hardware

Thanks! That got me two steps closer.

Now I go on to the phase:
Unlock WD My Passport Drive

Plug in your password protected drive.
Run in terminal this command and enter password:

~/wdpassport-utils.py -u

I can see wdpassport-utils.py in my /home, but when I try this command I get;
‘bash: /home/easyt50/wdpassport-utils.py: Permission denied’… then I tried as root;

‘root@8300:/home/easyt50# ~/wdpassport-utils.py -u
bash: /root/wdpassport-utils.py: No such file or directory’ …then I tried;

easyt50@8300 ~ $ sudo ~/wdpassport-utils.py -u
sudo: /home/easyt50/wdpassport-utils.py: command not found

Any Thoughts?
