First try this

Easy Drive Lock 4.1
I learned that any locked partitions can be accessed, if you enter the full path of an item (file or folder) into Windows Explorer. So much for protection. A locked partition can be accessed either locally or by using a remote machine this way.

For backup reason
Copy all contents from that lock partition to some other partition and uninstall Easy Drive Lock 4.1. and if u could access the locked partition directly its good other wise format that locked partition.

Many of the softwares that lock drives uses Registry values to lock. Since your drives are locked, and you cant open them, i ask you to check the Registry and change the value. But REMEMBER CHANGING VALUES IN REGISTRY WITHOUT KNOWING CAN LEAD TO MALFUNCTION OF WINDOWS, SO BE CAREFUL, BACKUP YOUR REGISTRY BEFORE CHANGING ANY VALUE, YOU CAN USE BACKUP TO RESTORE YOUR SYSTEM SETTINGS IF ANYTHING HAPPENS.

This link tells you how to Hide and lock any drive(s) using regedit

Dont Buy this software it is useless. If you lock the drive you will lost all datas.
If you have problem with Lock You can take backup the datas in windows utility.

firstly after locking the drive data cannot be copied.also there is no registry entry that can be deleted to restore the drive
i tried using a fake key to make easy drive lock fullversion,IT STILL DOES NT WORK
