Samsung Windows 8 Laptop Password Reset

If you lose the spotlight password, the instructions do not tell you how to reset the password

I bought it to upgrade our Samsung laptop. It fits and I was able to install Windows 10 with no problems.

My Samsung often requires reboot... My L3860CDW printer is always there. Only trouble is asking for a password for a firmware upgrade, claiming it is in the back and trust me, it is NOT ANYWHERE...

....it appears so far. This is my second WD backup drive, and my first is still going strong and running flawlessly. I've tried ClickFree as a long-term storage solution, and it's been a bit of a nightmare. I bought this drive to replace it in fact, because I don't trust the aforementioned. This WD transfers files on & off itself quickly. It definitely is an External not a Removable, but it doesn't have the massive footprint (size) my old Verbatim External had. My one bone to pick: It is secure, yes. Kinda. When you install the software you can set it to always remain signed-in from your primary host-PC. Which makes sense, being that it's an External not a Removable! But I also use it with my laptop. I had to install the system-files on my laptop, then when I plug the drive into my laptop I need to manually run any one of the WD software applications so it prompts me for my password. Only after this can I see the drive when it's plugged-into my laptop. It would be nice if the drive was recognized but I was prompted for my password. I keep a copy of the system files off-disk, and I'm sure they're available free from WD's website.

8 x Splitter works as described. Great unit.

I love my laptop, its fast and works great. My desktop is Windows 7 pro and this comes with windows 8.1 home. I just need to upgrade it to pro and I'm good to go.

I have not had to reset like I did with the other one

I mainly uses this for cloning my existing computer SSDs. I had a nasty reset problem on my favorite laptop and now will purchase more of these to use as backup devices for my other computers, especially my desktop. Well built and reliable.

Ordered this to help transfer and reset many of my laptop drives. A simple hook-up and connected to a USB port had this drive easily recognized on my Mac.

I kept having to reset the laptop wireless network adapter, after running updates etc nothing worked but this TP-link was an affordable and easy solution.
