Encryption issues help!?

Hello, I got this USB a while ago and have been using it for a few months after I lost my previous USB. Anyways I forgot the password and so reformatted the drive because of password protection. That's not a problem for me as I didn't encrypt anything on the drive. However there are now so many files and folders with random symbols and signs in their titles. I did not put them there and I cannot delete, move, or do anything to these files and they're really bugging me. Can someone please help me, I don't know what these things are and how to get rid of them. Thank you.

Yes, download hirens boot cd (.iso) from any site, write it on cd, then restart PC, boot from CD/DVD, in there there is mini windows and mini linux, explore your files by mini windows or mini linux. You can see all your files and copy them other place, then remove olds.

SOURCE: Verbatim 1gb flash drive privacy zone lost space

In order to delete your privacy zone, you have to get the application once more. To get the software click here http://verbatim.com/support/support.cfm?open=Downloads ...ok so you will have to format your flash drive with the application, removing the privacy zone if you want, this will obiously DELETE ALL DATA ON THE DRIVE after the format has completed, you can then remove the application from you flash drive, if you still remember the privacy zone password, then all you have to do is just type it and you have acess to the privacy zone... anyone who needs assistance can contact me to [email protected] if you are confused, email me and i can also try to clear it up for you. MAKE SURE THAT YOU CHOOSE THE CORRECT PRIVACY ZONE APPLICATION FOR YOUR FLASHDRIVE

I set a WEP key for the USB, now it's not allowing me to connect, Is their anyways to reset the WEP key of the dongle ? Please Help me.

If it's a standard WIFI dongle it would have come with an installation disk or on-board self installing drivers and (usually) a WIFI app which I presume you used to set the WEP key. If it's a modern one you will be using a MINIMUM of WPA2 and TKIP or AES encryption. Try running the setup app again with one of these settings. The app SHOULD give you the choice of setting up encryption & passwords using windows instead (windows zero config usually) by right clicking on wifi symbol in bottom R of screen. I find that more reliable. Check the maker's spec for the relevent protocols. Good Luck.

Hi Linda,

The DSi supports WEP for most games although the later versions of the system will support other encryption types to just connect and download software. It could be that in fixing the issue for the DS, the type of encryption for your wireless network was altered preventing previously connected devices not to connect.

You probably need to change the wireless router back to the encryption (WPA/WPA2) that was used before or change your other devices to also use WEP.

My grandpa set up our wireless network a few years ago, but bless his heart, he passed away just this year and we forgot our WEP key and we need to reset it or just get ahold of it so the family can access...

Sorry for your loss.
  • Note: Resetting your router to the factory defaults not only changes your gateway user name and password to the factory default values, but it also deletes all your home network settings. This includes the SSID and network encryption key. After you reset your gateway to the factory defaults, your home network won't be accessible until you reconfigure your router and all your network devices to use the same SSID and network encryption key.

To reset your VersaLink 327W gateway to the factory settings:
Hold the reset button on the back panel of the VersaLink gateway for 30 seconds.
  • All your settings will be lost including network encryption information, MAC Address filtering information, and any SSID information you have entered.
  • The gateway user name and password will revert to the default of Admin as the user name and Password as the password.
  • You will need your user name or password to reconfigure the unit..

Your VersaLink 327W gateway is now using the default settings for the network configuration. This includes the default SSID and network encryption key. You must re-configure your VersaLink gateway to match your previous settings that were assigned to all other devices on your wireless network. Otherwise, no other network devices will be recognized.

If I could be of further assistance, let me know. If this helps or solves the issue, please rate it and give a testimonial for my response

Thanks, Joe
