Thank you for the link, ERmorel. Would you be able to steer me to which option will re-install the password software?
Choices are:
WD Universal Firmware Updater For Windows
WD Quick Formatter For Windows
WD SES Driver
WD Smartware Update For Windows
WD Smartware User Manual (.pdf) (-- Just listing that last one because it’s on the page, I already downloaded it and it didn’t shed much light as to what to do to restore the original software that came with the Passport.)
Appreciate your help and the warm welcome
