I couldnt remember my password for admin rights to connect my new iMac and WD Drive and setup shared folders, so i did the 4 second reset, which didnt work.
I then tried to do the 40 second reset to blank all users and the drive is just flashing (about once per second, perhaps quicker) for the past 9 hours.
Any ideas how to recover, I need to get at my files.
Any help would be appreciated.
NB Tried new cat cable, tried unplugging all but drive from router, tried router reset, all to no avail…
