When you click on the Vsafe100 file and are prompted for a password, click on the HINT button at the bottom. Hopefully you entered a hint to remind you of the password. If not, buy a new USB drive and create a good hint, then back up all your USB drive files to a PC regularly. Live and learn. :)

Always backup your files from the USB flash drive to a computer, since these removable drives will always either break, get lost, or get stolen. Sometimes a flash drive will prompt you for a password and there will be an option for giving a HINT. Click on this option and see if you left a hint on the drive.

You will have to download the v-safe software again for your flashdrive from manufacturer website. Then you can change the size of the secure area or remove it completely. http://www.verbatim.com/support/support.cfm?open=Manuals
You should be able to find the software here in the downloads section.

Everyone above is wrong. I too had this problem. You run the V-safe software to access the "private zone". the software is downloadable from the support website. There are several versions and you have to go through and find the correct version by trial and error. If none of them work then you have a mini paperweight. I work on computers for a living and I have tried every professional tool out there and none of them will work. No the protected partition can not eve be recognized by a Linux boot disk.If you are willing to pay the shipping Verbatim will replace it.

Do you have verbatim's "V-Key" driver for this flash drive?

If so, there's an option in that driver for "write-protect enable" and a checkbox for that option.

If not, and it's operating as a standard USB mass storage device, then you can try this registry change:

- Start > Run > type ‘regedit’ then hit 'OK'.

- Browse to the following key:

My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies

- Double click on the string ‘WriteProtect’ and change the ‘Value Data’ box to ‘0’

- You may also need to do this for the strings in any folders called ‘ControlSet***’ e.g.

My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\StorageDevicePolicies
My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Control\StorageDevicePolicies

etc.
