Setting a password on a memory card or other portable storage medium is a great way to protect your data from falling into the wrong hands. There can be many options for creating and setting a password, but no matter how much you want it, none of them can guarantee that your flash drive will not be hacked or used by others.
It is necessary
- mmcpwd
- HP USB Disk storage
- JetFlash Recovery
Instructions
Step 1
To begin with, let's consider the option of unlocking a flashcard while saving data. Install JetFlash Recovery on your computer. It is very easy to use. Just select the drive you want and click "Start". After some time, your flash drive will be unlocked.
Step 2
If we are not talking about a USB drive, but about miniature flash drives such as MircoSD or SD, then you will need another utility - mmcpwd. Install it on your computer, find the mmcstore file, move it to the USB flash drive. Change the file extension to.txt. Open the file. Its content will look something like this: ???? 2 ?? four??? 2 ??? R??. This means that the password for the flash drive is 242P.
Step 3
If you don't have time to save data on a USB flash drive, then install the HP Usb Disk Storage Format program. Run it, select the desired flash drive and format.
