Screen reads memory card write protected cant get it off

You didn't specify the type of memory card so I'm assuming it's a Secure Digital card.

SD cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the metal contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card.

Look at your memory card. SD cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the metal contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card.
If this doesn't do it, try a different card.

Hello,

Have you checked your memory card to see if it IS in fact protected? It is amazingly easy for some camera memory cards to become accidentally protected.

Check and see if you card has a switch that allows it to be set to read only. And if it does make sure it is not set to read only.

HTH

Take a look athe SD card in the camera to see if the little slide switch on the left side is down. That is the write protect switch of the SD card to prevent you from over writing data/pictures or formatting the memory device accidently. push the switch up and try again.

remove the memory card from the camera, then check a notch or type of slide switch at its sides. adjust the swicth to make sure the memory card is not write protected. Insert it back to the camera and test it again

Some memory cards have a tiny write-protect switch on the side of the memory card. If so, try changing it.

If someone has used the Set Password function on it, and no one remembers that password, then you are out of luck.
