I'm not sure I understand the qustion. Do you just want the drive to use, or do 
you want the data that's on it now?

If you just want the drive, just erase it.

If you want the data, you can probably unencrypt it by knowing the password. 
It's not like an internal drive on an A4-chip machine, which is tied to that 
machine. Cheese grater isn't that recent.
