I just purchased a POPCORNHOUR device to watch my digital films on the HD TV
I am using a USB stick where I transfer the media file from the PC and then plug the stick on the POPCORNHOUR device
the problem is that the memory is very limited
I would like to use for this purpouse my old Maxtor 9ha2a2-500 160GB external USB drive
But this drive is password protected
I have the password, but I did not found the way to tell this password to the POPCORNHOUR
As alternative I would like to take out the password protection from the maxtor
Can you help me to doit?
thanks for the advice.

Helping people with password removal or circumvention is against forum rules as we have no way of knowing who put the password-protection there in the first place. If you put the password on it, why don't you know it?
