Frogotten password I have a san disk 4gb micro cruzer flash drive and I cannot remember my password. Is there any way to get around this and retrieve my data.

just buy new gadgets .....

Files on a flash drive canbe corrupted if it is not removed from the USB port properly.
Before removing the flash drive click on the Safely Remove Hardware icon andthen click on the flash drive you want to remove and then remove the flashdrive when the computer message says it is Safe to remove.
To restore the flash drive to working order you need to format the flash drive,BUT you will lose the data stored on the flash drive.
If you need the data on the flash drive these WEB sites may help: -

make a folder on your C: drive, name it what ever (San4) stick the San Disk in your usb port. get up my computer, find the San Disk, right click on it, on the open menu find "copy" and click on it. then get up your C: drive, find the folder you made (San4) right click on the folder and select "Paste" from the menu and every thing on the San Disk will be copied to a file called San4 on your "C" drive

Is it brandnew?

Hi
here is the link to download Avast antivirus
for U3 smart enabled pen drive

The only way to change or retrive is to remember it!

try no password just hit enter if that's allowed and make a list of all the passwords you have used in the past and don't list that list lying around

Locate the drive in my computer, right click on it and select format, you can use the quick option and choose the type (FAT32, NTFS, ....).
Let us know how it goes?

Hi there,

Try plugging it in to a different USB port on your computer. Make sure the connecter on the Cruzer is clean and there's no dust inside.

Also, try plugging it in on a different computer.

If none of these work,
I'm afraid it's a hardware problem and there's nothing that can be done about that.

Hope I helped!

Since you say you have tried on several computers, i am afraid to say your USB is dead, if you have warranty you should take it to the shop you bought it from.
