Thread: Password protection errors with flash drive

I have an 8 GB Kingston pen drive, One day I gave it to my friend and after I got it back I have been unable to copy any data, neither am I able to format it. Every time I try to copy data, it lays write protected, Is there any way to remove the write protection or is it useless now?

I have a 512 MB MicroSD Kingston memory card. I locked it with a password. Now I have forgotten the password to my card so I am not able to use it with any other cell phone or on any card reader. Is there any way or any software to change or remove the password of my memory card?

I wanted to know if we can connect XP and Vista over the network.

Try using USB WriteProtector to unlock the drive. With any flash drive or memory card, one of the simplest ways to remove the Write protection is to delete the partition. Click on Start ) Control Panel >Administrative Tools > Computer Management. click on the flash drive, right click on the only partition and delete it. Remember that this will delete all the data on the drive.lf nothing works, it might be worth trying to format the drive also.

If you are using a Nokia phone, use an application called FExplorer and access the memory card. The password should be present in a text file in the root folder.

Windows XP and Vista will have no problems accessing each other over the network. Once on the network, you should be able to see shared folders through the network link in Windows Explorer. Just make sure to share folders before you do by right clicking on a folder and clicking on Sharing.
