Seagate FreeAgent Go External Hard Drive - Reset Password?
Hello,
Recently, I received a new laptop. In my new laptop, I will plug my Seagate FreeAgent Go external hard drive into my USB port, at that time I am prompted to enter my password for it,. which I do. It's not recognizing my password now for some reason. I log into my external drive all the time, so I know it isn't an issue with the password being wrong and I was careful not to "fat-finger" the password when entering it. Still, I'm not able to get into it? Can I reset this password or get into the contents some other way? All my back up data is on my Seagate and I'm unable to get to it because of this. Thank you.
