How to reset the username, password, and network settings of a WD My Book World Edition hard drive.
Answer
The directions below detail how to reset the username and password (for the Shared Storage Manager utility), and network settings of a WD My Book World Edition hard drive by using the recovery button on the back of the unit.
Note: Western Digital
recommends rebooting the computer system after making any network
setting changes to the WD My Book World Edition hard drive.
then from WD software select
General Setup->WD Anywhere Access settings->Reset.
Try signing in with your WD Access Anywhere username and password. I just had the same problem and tried this and I was able to gain access.
PERFECT SOLUTION. GREAT.
IT WORKED FOR ME. POWERSURGE KNOCKED IT OF LINE. SO WAS REALLY WORRIED ABOUT DATA. RESET PROCEDURE WORKED FINE FOR A POWER AT LEAST. OLD IMAC HAD NO PROBLEM SEEING IT AFTER RECONNECT.
THANKS FOR INFO.
THIS SECOND TIME POWER KNOCKOFF PROBLEM SO IAM WORRIED ABOUT WHETHER THIS THING WILL HOLD TOGETHER AS WELL.
I HAVE AN OLD ICUE 120 GB DRIVE WHICH HAS NEVER HAD THESE PROBLEMS!
Well thats good so we just have to format the drive very so often, perfect resolve for that problem, I think ill let the kids kick this little white box around the street for a bit, just so I get my monies worth out of it.

Can't login to manage the 1TB My Book World Edition using either my WD Anywhere credentials or the default admin/123456 credentials.
Do not remember where I set the user name and password for the world edition. I just remember to set up the MioNet user name and passorld. the said this will change the admin username and password but do not know change to what?
When trying to log on to Mionet it says that it can´t connect to internet.
This happened just today!!!
