Note:
• If your Windows user name and password do not match the user name and password for
the private folder on your Seagate Central, you may need to enter the Seagate Central
device name along with the user name. Use the format device\user; for example,
seagate-central\matt.
• If your Windows user name and password match the user name and password for the
private folder on the Seagate Central, the system may not prompt you to enter them when
connecting to the private folder.
• If you enter the correct user name and password, but are denied access, reboot your
computer and connect to the private folder again.
