I used the Samsung hidden hard drive function (Windows + F12) on Galaxy book pro

The problem is that after some windows/samsung updates, the password doesn't work anymore.

Short summary:

  1. Сheck if you have access to your Samsung account. You can log in to your Samsung account on your computer by visiting the Samsung Account homepage, clicking "Sign in", and entering your email address and password. Verify your account by entering the two-step verification code sent to your phone and clicking "Verify".
  2. Once you have logged into your Samsung account, check if the device is registered on the account. If it is, proceed to step 3. If not, register the device on the account.
  3. In Secure Folder, try to use the Samsung account password to access the hidden hard drive function. If the password works, then you can access the Secure Folder again.

I see, after the recent update password to your Secure Folder is not recognized, correct?
