Going into the keychain is not going to work because the password is stored on the drive itself in a hidden sector. Try contacting LaCie support and ask if there is a work around or "back door" master password to access the drive. I don't think you can format the drive without the password.

Call Lacie support. Did you register the password with them when new?
