Use the software that came installed on the drive. Use it to secure the whole disk. To access it you need to enter a password. Be careful though. The drive may not be accessible on Linux or Mac.

Here is a "How to" article describing how to remove the password (if you know the password.

The best way to go about this is to find a linux system as linux operating systems completely bypass the U3 security completely.

open scandisk settings and disable that feature.
or else you can simply delete scandisk software and use your pen drive.

Make sure your computer has the software to use USB 2.0

Try the data recovery using Sandisk Recovery Pro. It might be of help.

Download it from:

And install it. Then run it.

If it doesn't help, there are other tools that might be of help.
