To
create a password and keep others from accessing the files on your drive:
1. Click Go > Applications > WD Security to display the WD Security screen, Set
Security dialog:
2. If you have more than one supported My Passport drive connected to your
computer, select the one that you want to create a password for.
3. Type your password in the Choose a password box, using up to 25 characters.
CAUTION! The WD Security software uses your password to electronically lock
and unlock your drive. If you forget your password, you will not be able to access
the data that is on your drive or write new data to it. You will have to erase the
drive before you can use it again.
