Hi,

I have an issue with my Sandisk 2TB V2 ssd drive’s password encryption. Below is the timeline.

  1. I configured the security password on windows 10. Unlocks functioned normally.
  2. I wanted to back-up a macOS laptop. Connected and unlocked fine on MacOS 10.12. Data transferred normally from laptop to ssd and laptop was upgraded to MacOS Catalina.
  3. Next day, tried to login to ssd on new MacOS but it kept saying “Password Invalid”.
  4. Tried to used ssd on windows PC where the password was configured, same result “Password Invalid”

Now I have not forgotten the password overnight. This is certain. But something has gone wrong and the SSD security is not recognising my password anymore.

Has this happened to anyone that it just stop recognising the password? I don’t want to format and lose all my stuff.

Hope someone can help!

Thanks.
Aneesh
