Why is my password not working only flashing the light

I want PassPort to answer the question. That's why I'm here.

My passport WD was blinking and beeping. Now it's only blinking. Hasn't happened before. Truth is I barely ever use my computer anymore. After almost 30 years I'm almost totally out of Microsoft but I have lots of files & pictures there I'd prefer not losing.

i have similar issue here, the light to my passport is on but cant read the device? is it a cable issue?
