The Disk is write-protected. Remove the write-protection

Hi guys.. My problem is that I am using HP laptop, Windows Vista, and some weeks ago I was experiencing a problem with one of my flash memories. I was not able to write on it or even format it. Finally, I solved this problem. But after few weeks I found the same problem repeated with my computer when trying to copy any thing to any external hard or even to any flash memory. But when trying to use them on other computers, this problem doesn't show up. Is it a virus or what? I scanned my computer and I didn't find any virus.. Please Help!!!!!

Only thing that i can think of at the moment that would do that is that you dont have the correct permissions to write on external drives..can you see wats in the drive may i ask? if you can but can not write to the disk it might be that ur account is denying you access to write to removable media. its not a virus btw, virus dont limit write permissions. do me a favor when u connect another device right click it and click properties see wat you see on the bottom if the box read is the only one checked that means you dont have the permissions to access the drive...if read and write are clicked then your account on the machine is limited and try an administrator account

I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/alex_32392698f23d119d

Remove security parameters

If your computer is connected to a network or the Internet, it is advisable to use computer security tools, such as a firewall, to protect your computer from unauthorized access or viruses. Windows operating systems come with a built-in firewall, malware protection and Internet security. These settings are automatically configured to the factory's default settings when you purchase the operating system. To alter the settings for these security features, access the Windows Security utility through your system's Control Panel.

Open the "Windows Security" utility by opening your "Start" menu and selecting the "Control Panel" option on the right-hand side. Windows XP users can click on the "Security Center" link in this window. For Vista users, click on the "Security" option, and then click on "Windows Security Center." Click on the "Windows Firewall" option to change the settings for your firewall, if you are using XP. You can turn the firewall on or off, and also configure which programs are allowed through the firewall. Vista users should click on the "Windows Firewall" link in the left window pane and click on the "Change settings" link. In this window, you can block programs from passing through your firewall and grant access to new programs. Click the "Internet Options" selection to configure your Internet security settings. You can raise or lower the security level for different zones using preset configurations, or you can create a custom security level. You can also reset the Internet security level to its default settings. Click on "Automatic Updating" in the Windows Security Center to configure your system's update settings. In Vista operating systems, click on "Windows Update" and "Change Settings." You can configure your update settings to automatically check for updates daily or weekly. You can also set a convenient time for your system to update to prevent interruption. Automatic updating can be turned off by selecting the corresponding option toward the bottom of the window. Select the "Malware Protection" option to edit malware settings if you are using Vista. This option is not available in XP's version of Windows Security Center. You can turn the malware protection programs on or off using the arrow to the right of the "Malware Protection" bar. Click the "X" button to exit Windows Security Settings.

Forgot password to hp laptop how do i reset it.

I don't know what OS your HP laptop is installed with.

If it is Windows 8, Windows Password Hint, PIN code, Microsoft account can be used to login HP laptop. After logon successfully, change, recover or reset Windows 8 password is available.

If it is Windows 7, Password hint or another administrator account may help you. But if you don't have all of these, try password reset disk. Create it before Windows 8 locked or with Windows 8 Password Recovery tool is OK.
Besides these, Chntpw USB disk also works for Windows 7/Vista etc.
