If you want to remove write protection from a pen drive or USB, this video can help you. In this video, you will learn 4 solutions to help remove write protection from USB and fix the disk is write protected issue. Tutorial for reference: bit.ly/34eJ2pg
What is a read-only or write protection pen drive/USB? Actually, write protection can either be virtual or physical. Write protection is called read only. If a USB is enabled with write protection, it can neither write new files nor change the old ones. It would ultimately allow you to only read the data that is stored in the USB.
If you want to remove write protection from the pen drive/USB in windows, follow the four solutions in the video to remove disk write protection.
Timestamps:
0:00 Intro
1:41 Solution 1: Check Lock Switch and Disable Write Protection
2:17 Solution 2: Change Pen Drive Read-Write Properties
3:00 Solution 3: Disable Write Protection Using Diskpart Command
4:11 Solution 4: Remove Write Protection from Pen Drive Using Regedit.exe
By the way, if you have ever lost the USB data and want to recover it, you can make use of our Recoverit Data Recovery software. It is one of the best and strongest data recovery software for recovering data from pen drive or USB flash drive.

@antidisestablishmentarianism27 Год назад

Don't hold your breath. People like this guy only do the 'easy stuff' - they don't want to know when their 'advice' is worthless - as most of them are. Probably better off throwing the usb out, driving over it, burning it, then throwing it off a cliff. Go back and do some research into decent usb drives that aren't write protected pieces of crap, that aren't made in chyna and that will allow you to see and access the 'security' tab under 'properties' so you that can change thngs.
