20 Most Recent Kingston 2GB Secure Digital Memory Card - Page 3 Questions & Answers

Hello.

Unfortunately, with any pen drive, memory card, flash drive, etc. that is password-protected, there is not a way to obtain a password to access the data. That is how it is designed and how a user would want their data protected.

The only way to use the drive is to format it, which would wipe all the data and start fresh. To format:

Determine which drive is the Kingston pen drive. On some systems, it may be identified as a Kingston Drive; on others, it may simply carry a drive-letter designation. Keep in mind that your primary hard drive is the "C" drive and your CD or DVD drive is most often the "D.


Right-click on the drive letter of your pen drive. Choose "Format" from the list of options.


From the "Format" screen, choose the options you want for your pen drive. It is generally best to leave the first three options--Capacity, File System and Allocation Unit Size--as is. If you want, give the volume a new name by entering it in the text box on the screen.


Click the "Start" button at the bottom of the screen. A new window will be displayed when the formatting is complete.

Hope this helps.

What do you mean by "change the properties"?

are you familior with linux?
any way you dnt have to be, you can try the folowing:
downlaod puppy linux live cd, burn it to a cd.
plug the usb memmory card, and boot the cd, hit enter to the given questions.
when the destope is loaded, click on the first icon that looks like a hard drive, a list of drives will appear, mount your usb , a new windows will apear, if it did appeared than u can mount your internal drive, copy the files, and format the usb, then go back to windows or mac and recopy the files, or even more better, plug it in your fone after the format, then back to the computer......

Try sliding the switch on the actual SD card. It should be small and gray and have an unlocked and locked side.

Please insert the card on you PC and see if the card is reccognised or the files are opened. If not try with another PC so as to confirm that the memory card is corrupt.
Unless the card opens the memory cannot be formatted. Finally you can see if Kingston service/support can help for a replacement if this is a new piece.

this could be due to the format. i would try different formats on your usb. vista normally reads both but your format may be fat32 which is hit n miss. you can try UDF or FAT. I would format on a vista machine. insert, right click on the drive and select format. you may have to do both with a single file to test reads on both boxes. good luck.

when transferring the micro sd to the pc from your mobile do you have to use an adapter? there is a lock on the sd adapter that when pushed down it wont let you edit your anything on your card.
is this the issue you are experiencing?

Look at the MMC card pictured here. See if there is a slideable lock. If so, simply slide it in the opposite direction. If there is no slideable part, place a small amount of tape on the cut-out section, on the opposite side of the card with the cut-off corner. Be sure the tape is folded over, so no adhesive gets into the device. Insert the card and see if it works.
If it does not work, the card itself may be defunct.
The final step to try is reformatting the card. If the card is used in a phone, use the menu on the phone to reformat the card. WARNING- this will delete all data contained on the card. However, reformatting the card may be the only way to get further use from the card.

The best way to go about this is to find a system using a Linux Operating system. Linux o/s 'es completely bypass this secuirty in almost all cases.

Hi George,

If you right-click on the removable device and go to properties, when in there uncheck the read-only box and click OK.
If that doesn't sort it check the actual card itself and see if there is a switch or slider on it that can be moved.

Your choice remain to keep trying passwords until you remember the correct one, or reformat the card and not put a password on it which you will lose all of your data unfortunatly.
