Unlocking the Drive with the WD SmartWare Software

Whenever you shut down and restart your computer, or disconnect and reconnect the
drive to your computer, the WD SmartWare software displays a

Drive is locked

message in place of the Content Gauge for your My Book drive:

To unlock your drive using the WD SmartWare software:

1.

As prompted, click the My Book image above the

Drive is locked

message to

display the WD SmartWare drive unlock screen:

2.

Type your password in the

Password

box.

3.

Click

Unlock

to unlock your drive and enable the WD SmartWare software.

Unlocking the Drive Without the WD SmartWare Software

Whenever you connect your password-protected drive to a computer that does not have
the WD SmartWare software installed, you can use the WD SmartWare Drive Unlock
utility to unlock the drive there. The WD SmartWare software provides the Drive Unlock
utility on a “virtual” CD drive that appears under My Computer in your Windows Explorer
display whenever the drive is locked.
