Unlock T5 
If you’ve enabled password protection, every time you connect T5 to your computer you need to 

enter your password and click the “UNLOCK” button before getting access to the data in T5. If 

you fail to type correct password, your access will be confined to capacity of about 128MB 

allocated to SamsungPortableSSD.exe and SamsungPortableSSD.app, which means that you 

will be locked out of the data protected by password.

initially displayed. In case of Windows 7, the size is approximately 128 MB. Once you enter your 

password and unlock successfully, the full capacity of T5 will be displayed in your system.
