Hello,

I am looking for a way to protect my flash disk with a password. In case I lose my flash disk, and somebody else gets access to it, should not be able to access the content and files.

I really want to protect my flash disk but I don't know how? Need your help.

System Configuration: Windows XP Firefox 2.0.0.14

Peter, you don't know what you're talking about. Do some research before posting links.

Those would take decades to find a password like Awesome39123

I tried experimenting with what you said on my computer and it didn't work. I created a new file, right clicked on it, clicked send to comprehesed(zipped), then I opened the folder and right clicked, but there was no "add password" option. This isn't the first time I've tried this either; you must have left something out.

you could used 7zip
once installed
right click on the file(or folder)
choose -7zip
then -add to archive...
and read a lot
then look for the menu to put your password
it should be easy
use google to help yourself in understanding 7zip

As I understand you install a small file on your usb flash drive and assign a password to it. You can still use the flash drive in every computer and no program is needed to install on the computer. It just asks you to enter your password when you try to open the drive.

I don't have an "add password" option. Do you have this within MS Explorer? within WinZip? If not, what software gives you the add password option?

Thanks.

You can't make a password for your flash disk, but you can encrypt your data with a program like truecrypt, but your data are no longer accessible only on a PC with that program installed on.

You can put password by downloading a software called free file hide from www.cleanersoft.com n then you put passpord. Put your all files or folders in it. Nobody can get in to it without a password.

There is a Flash Drive pen I bought today. Its called a Maxell Venture. That has password encryption on the pen.

Ask a question

No : To protect a zip file with a password is not safe. there is a lot of tools to retrieve the password of a zip file.
Peter: An encrypted ZIP file is only vulnerable to those tools if you choose a short password. Use a password containing more than 7 characters, use numbers and upper and lower case letters plus the #{}!~ (etc) characters and you're usually good to go - unless someone is prepared to spend several months of runtime to see your files.
Use 10 characters and they're usually looking at decades to get in, even with cutting edge processors.
look at this :

Hey,

If you have a Windows 7 (if u don't install it). Right click on your memory card or stick in My Computer. You should see your memory stick. Do right click and then click turn bitlocker on simple as.

Say "Thank you" 212
