When accessing the Western Digital Encrypted target drive the actual drive does not appear until after it is unlocked. If you receive a message that you need to log in as an Administrator, please contact your IT department and either acquire an Admin login or have the IT department log in with an Administrator password.
1. Plug in the encrypted target drive to your computer. In My Computer/Computer/This PC in Windows you will see WD Unlocker. Double click on that to put in the password.
Note: If the CD drive with WD Unlocker is not appearing on your computer then please download the WD Security App from WD's website and run that program. Then continue to step 2.
2. Enter the password and click unlock. If you check the box to Enable auto unlock for user: then you will not have to put the password in every time you connect the drive to this computer. Note: If you are asked for a Username and Password this means that you do not have administrator rights on your computer and you need to contact your IT department for admin rights to your computer before you can proceed.
3. If the password is correct you will see this screen that it is unlocked. click Exit.
4. Once the drive is unlocked, go back to My Computer/Computer and you will see a new drive listed under Hard Disk Drives called DS5xxxxx (DS+Your Job Number). When you open the drive with your DS5XXXXX you will see a folder with your Job number on it.
