Format the card and try again. Infact SD cards have no passwords. If you are using it on a device like mobile phone the password is set on that device. Then you should try a factory reset of that device to clear the disk password.
Each U3 smart drive comes with a pre-defined number of login attempts. When you have only 3 attempts remaining, you will receive a warning message to prevent losing your data unnecessarily.
SanDisk does not have any method to bypass the password security feature on Cruzer U3 flash drives. SanDisk has not built in any back door or password reset methods. If the password feature is enabled and you exceed the number of incorrect password attempts, the drive will lock. Once the drive is locked there is no way to unlock the drive or gain access to the data stored on the device. You can only select the format feature, which will perform a secure erase (drive wipe) and data recovery will NOT be possible. U3 Cruzer flash drives which are password protected use 128bit AES encryption for data security
I have this same device and forgot my password also. The only solution you can do is format the drive and reinstall the software that came with the drive. I believe it warns you of this when installing a password on it, that if you loose or forget ur password the device will have to be reinstalled. the site to obtain the software is www.sandisk.com
Please leave comment thanks.]
