Can Not Log In To My Western Digital Wdbctl0040hwt In Windows 11 System

Just now I connected the WDBCTL0040HWT memory to the power supply with my Windows 11 system and I can see the name of this memory, when I double-click the icon of this memory (or: right mouse button, click "view device web page"), I will directly enter the web interface, and display :"User Name, Password", when I enter "User Name / Password", and prompt : "Entered User Name or Password Is Incorrect, Please Re-enter (note: user name and password, It has not been changed, and it is recorded in my notepad)". When I used my Android phone to check "Network Neighbors", I could also find the WD storage device, but I couldn't log in to it.I would like to know how to reset the password in this case. Or reset the storage device without losing the original data.I am looking forward to hearing from you and thanks for your cooperation.Best regards.Dirkseng / Beijing, [email protected]. 6 2024

Try the following troubleshooting steps if you're experiencing difficulties logging in to your Western Digital (WD) My Cloud device on a Windows 11 system:

Verify Network Connection: Make sure the WD My Cloud device and your Windows 11 computer are on the same network. Check to see that the network connection is reliable and operational.

Verify Device Credentials: Make sure you are using the correct login and password to access the WD My Cloud device. Verify that the credentials contain no mistakes or typos.

Reset Password: You might need to do this if you can't recall the password for your WD My Cloud device. To learn how to reset the password, consult the WD user handbook or other materials.

Update Firmware: Verify that your WD My Cloud device's firmware is current. Via the WD website or the device's web interface, you can check for firmware upgrades.

Make sure that neither your security software nor your firewall is preventing access to the WD My Cloud device. Try signing in again after momentarily disabling any security software or firewall.

Access by IP Address: Attempt to directly access the WD My Cloud device by typing its IP address into Windows 11's file explorer address bar. To access it, you can, for instance, type "\192.168.1.100" (replace with the IP address of your WD My Cloud device).

Mapped Network Drive: Try accessing the WD My Cloud device using the mapped drive letter in File Explorer if you had previously mapped it as a network drive on your Windows 11 PC.

Restart WD My Cloud: To see whether it fixes the login problem, try restarting the WD My Cloud device. Usually, you can restart the device by physically disconnecting it and plugging it back in or by using its online interface.

You might need to get in touch with WD customer service for more help if these solutions don't solve your login problems. They can assist you in fixing the problem or offer other troubleshooting techniques.
