Hi Tim, thanks for contacting us. Please know that the WD My Passport external USB drive is a plug-n-play drive designed and tested for Windows and macOS computers. We recommend connecting the drive directly to the USB port of the host device and you should be able to access the data in the drive to open pictures and play music using the associated applications installed in the host device.
Hi Gokul, we are sorry for the inconvenience. We recommend that you try connecting the drive to another computer by using a different cable and checking the status of the drive. If the problem persists, please refer to our My Passport Device Not Detected video (ua-cam.com/video/VW77Wp7SwcA/v-deo.html ).
Hi, We truly understand how distressing it can be to face issues with password access. It's important for you to know that, unfortunately, if a drive is password-protected and the password has been forgotten, there isn't a way to reset it. The only alternative is to format the drive, but we must caution you that this action will erase all the data contained on it as formatting a drive is a data destructive process. If the drive holds any valuable data, we sincerely advise consulting with a professional data recovery service before proceeding. We're here to assist you through this challenge and appreciate your understanding.

Hi, please know that a hard disk's safety cover can be an excellent approach to safeguarding it from unintentional falls and regular commutes. It not only offers extra safety for the drive itself but also for its contents by providing supplementary insulation against dust, moisture, and impact damage. Usually external drives are shock proof but it is good to have an extra layer of safety.
