Like many here, first thought was “why can’t you clone the drive?”. Apparently, not just a regular drive, it’s a USB stick: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IronKey

Though if it’s $220M worth on there, I bet you could pay Kingston $100M to figure out a way to image it.

Copy to another hard drive. Guess twice. Wipe hard drive. Rinse, wash, repeat. Infinite guesses.

One word: hypnosis. Worked for me in a big way, when I had lost something very valuable and was going nuts trying to remember where I left it (in a drunken journey on foot through a city). I found it, because somewhere deep inside, one part of my brain knew exactly where it was, and the rest of me had forgotten.
