I have a Hypertec password protected USB key.

The manual for it includes this bit:
"You only have six chances to enter the password correctly.
If you enter an incorrect password six times the HDD partition of your
Secure
HyperDrive will be automatically formatted resulting in the loss of all
data."

So, if the password has been incorrectly entered and the data is 'gone,
how recoverable is it? Could anyone, including a specialist, read any
of it?

Thanks for any help,
