Solution for WD my passport invaild password even though you have right password

If you guys having trouble unlocking you WD my Passport with your password. It keep saying Invaild password.

All you have to do plug your drive into pc
Go to devices and printer
Right click on my passport
Go to properties
Go to hardware tab
Select WD CD-Rom
Press properties
In properties, go to driver
Unistall driver

Eject the passport
Reconnect after 10 sec

It will ask you for password again
Type your password, it will be unlocked.

Most of the time, it is a problem with software that helps to unlock the drive. Once you delete the software from passport. It will remove the settings by itself.
And when you reconnect it again it installsnew software with old password.
It helped me. Hope it help you guys as well
