While using the WD software, I read about “Safepoints” and decided one shout be created.
First, I clicked “Backups”, then “Create”, It shows My Book Live, then points to “DISCOVER”
I click Discover, and it immeiatly finds “TOSHIBALAP” (At first it only found “Workgroup”, but then I set the “Homegroup” to no password required, now, it finds the Laptop.
I click the Laptop in order to create the “SafePoint”, BUT am then asked for Username & Password.
BUT: I have NEVER created a Username or password for this laptop. I have tried admin/admin admin/password, etc.
When setting up the PC, I intentionally set it up with NO PASSWORD, etc. as it is at home with only my access, so I did not want the hassle of security all the time. (The Network(Wireless) is totally secured, and those credentials were tried also)
Also, The WD software will NOT ALLOW the credentials fields to be blank. When logging into the PC, I leave it blank.
I HAVE NO CLUE, how to access the PC via the drive, in order to create this “Safepoint”
A call to WD, first suggested I Restore the drive to stock, BUT, I am sure that is totally incorrect, and this same problem will occure, as it is the PC it is trying to access, I can access the drive with no problem.
SO, BOTTOM-LINE: I need a Username/p/w for access to the laptop, which was never set up, so what could it be looking for.
PLEASE ANY IDEAS OR THOUGHTS ARE WELCOME.
Best Regards,
Jeff
