| 587495 | 2007-09-03 13:06:00 | Hello, I have a problem. I set a password on my microSD few months ago. It didn't ask it when I browsed it, but after my friend used my SD, it asks for a password. Which I don't know anymore. So, any ideas how could I access it? Maybe format it? I dont' care about the data, I just want to use it. Local hardware store salesman told me that I need card reader for that. I have memory card readers, but it's only SD. any software? other tricks and solutions? Thanks |

| 587496 | 2007-09-03 13:12:00 | A format should solve this problem. Are you able to plug it into your pc? If you can, just wait until windows has recongnized it, then open my computer, and it will show under the Devices with Removable Storage. Right click on it, and there should be an option to Format it. Don't bother with enabling compression or a quick format - it will only take a minute anyway. And no you don't need any software to do this. |

| 587498 | 2007-09-03 13:23:00 | I take it you have a card reader that plugs into a USB port? so when you plug the SD card into the reader, what happens? Does it just pop up and say "enter password" or something? are you able to see the SD card in my computer or disk managment? To get to disk managment Right Click on My Computer > Manage > Disk Management. Does the card show up in here? |

| 587499 | 2007-09-03 14:08:00 | No, formatting should definitely override the password. Try it in a card reader or printer or something before paying someone or buying a new one. | beeswax34 (63) | ||
| 587500 | 2007-09-04 19:50:00 | umm, I have a Nokia 5300. I can only access my microSD with that one. I have built-in card readers, but the closest to microSD is regular SD. And I don't have the adapter. Plus, it needs the password from the Nokia. And it didn't show up. Gah, screw it. 3 dollars for password hacking is alright, because I would've payed 12 dollars for it for another company. | obscene (12772) | ||
