Can't connect via USB and no longer connects to wifi - authentication revoked error

I’m using a My Passport Wireless Pro 1TB device.

My MyCloud app reported this error “Authentication revoked. Authorization to this device is denied. Please enter a new activation code.”. Since then I can’t connect the drive to my laptop - it mounts and then dismounts the USB and the drive is never listed. I’ve tried connecting it to a different PC and that makes no difference. I’ve tried using the device standalone and it won’t connect to wifi - all the lights flash fast. I’ve tried doing a system reboot as per the solution to all the lights flashing but that makes no difference either. Anyone got any ideas what to do please?
