How do I reset my SanDisk Cruzer password?
There is no "forgot password" option to reset the password. If the password cannot be remembered, the files on the drive are not accessible. SanDisk Technical Support cannot provide a new password or alternative method to access encrypted data. The drive can still be used and reformatted by clicking the Erase button.

Once you forgot PDF password, the data in the encrypted PDF
file are on the risk of unavailability. Unless fortunately the password
knocks your memory again, you got the data lost or you have to give up
the document eventually. With the ever-growing of strong encryption
algorithms, decryption algorithms gradually come into existing, too.
Though the cracking is far more difficulty than ever before, it is
still of help to those expecting to recover PDF password and access the password protected PDF file. Take PDF Password Unlocker, a popular PDF password recovery software, for example, it has adopted the advanced decryption algorithms to crack 40-bit RC4, 128-bit RC4, 128-bit AES, and 256-bit AES encrypted passwords with 3 attack methods, Dictionary attack, Brute-force attack, and Brute-force with Mask attack
For security, we often protect our PDF file by password , such as some academic papers or network magazines. If we want to edit secured PDF, we would better unlock them first. But something bad often happen, For example, when we want to print a secured PDF file, but the password is lost; or if we want to extract some excellent pages from a PDF file, we would fail to copy them. So how to unlock and edit secured PDF? Fortunately, as far as I know, there are methods, such as Brute Force Attack and Dictionary Attack can resolve the problem. However another question comes, with so much software can retrieve PDF password, which one should be chosen? Well, according to my own experience, I recommend you PDF Password Recovery 5.0 an easy-to-use tool designed for removing passwords added to Adobe Acrobat PDF documents.

GSN games: just click the forgot password link, and do what it says. Usually it send you a reset link to your email address...where you can pick a new one. Sometimes it will send you a temp. password...use that to log in, then go to profile and set a new one. These days you need to keep track of passwords somehow. Either an encrypted (locked) file on your desktop, or if you have Apple, they have keychain (which saves them encrypted, and is safe) or if you use windows, chrome browser uses and encrypted file, so you can just save them, or Norton's vault...lots of ways to remember them. Pick one, and use it.
PayPal ...same thing. Click log in, and then click the "Forgot your email or password?" link and it give you reset instructions in your email.
You can go to the desktop folder and see if that whole folder is set as encrypted. Right click on the folder and clock properties. Then click the advanced button, and see if the encrypted check box is marked. If it is, see if you can clear the check mark.Try doing the same thing with any individual file that is encrypted. You can format a USB drive with some format other than NTFS. When you copy an encrypted file over to that USB drive, it should force it to be unencrypted, if it is being encrypted by EFS. Otherwise, it was encrypted before it was put on the CD or DVD, and there is nothing you can do except try to get the password used to encrypt it.
I got the following from the windows help and support:
OPTION 1
Using a password reset disk is the best solution.
If you have typed the wrong password, you'll get a message that says your user name or password is incorrect. When this message appears, click OK.
Click Reset password, and then follow the instructions.
OPTION 2
If there is another administrator account on the computer, that administrator can change the password for the account you can't remember the password for. If you do this, however, you will lose access to any encrypted files, encrypted e‑mail messages, and passwords stored on this account. If you don't have encrypted files or stored passwords, then this option will work for you
OPTION 3
If you don't have a password reset disk or another administrator account, you won't be able to reset the password. If there are no other user accounts on the computer, you won't be able to log on to Windows. In this case, you will need to re-install Windows.
