Today, flash drives are often used to transfer various digital information from computer to computer. Various volumes of flash drives that are presented on the domestic market allow each buyer to choose the most suitable option for themselves. Often during the operation of flash drives, it becomes necessary to remove protection for the possibility of writing and erasing information.
Instructions
Step 1
Such protection of the flash drive appears either as a result of a software failure in the operation of the flash drive, or as a result of the actions of intruders. In any case, you will most likely need to take some steps to unlock the flash drive and use it as before.
Protecting a flash drive with a password is used to protect the information that is written on it from unauthorized access. If the flash drive has locked itself, then in this case insert the flash drive into the USB output, go to the registry at HKLM / SYSTEM / CurrentControlSet / Contr¬¬ol / StorageDevicePolicies and set the WriteProtect parameter to zero. Thus, you will open access to the flash drive and be able to dispose of all the information that is located on it.
Step 2
If the above method did not help to restore the operation of the flash drive, use programs such as JetFlash Recovery Tool and Hard Disk Low Level Format Tool. They will help you get rid of this problem as soon as possible. Write protection from the flash drive will protect the information on the flash drive from any changes.
Step 3
If you have not been able to remove the protection from the flash drive yourself, contact professional programmers who are well versed in this issue and will perform all the necessary work at the highest level. The complexity of these works depends on the breadth of the problem. After all, there is a significant likelihood that the internal structure of the flash drive has failed, and it will have to be completely disassembled. Then you will lose all the data that was on it. To prevent this from happening, monitor the functional state of the flash drive and regularly check it with antivirus software. With their help, you will get rid of Trojans that attackers launch on a USB flash drive trying to get its contents.
Step 4
Use the USB flash drive strictly for its intended purpose and carefully protect it from mechanical influences that can violate its integrity and all data recorded on the USB flash drive will be irretrievably lost.
