Congratulation on your Passport.
Use the USB cable that came with it to connect it to the computer.
The computer should recognize it.
Open the file explorer to see the My computer. The drive should appear there, along with the C: drive.
Click on the Passport icon and look for an executable file WD-Synch or something similar. Click the executable and you will set it up.
If you do not want to use the synchronizing and other software that came with it, just use the drive as storage space.
If the drive seems not to be working, and if it came with a power adapter, then it should be plugged in. Usually the USB port of the computer supplies the necessary power, but sometimes that is not enough and certain drives have a power adapter.
Before removing the drive you should use the Safely Remove Hardware program.
