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.

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.

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.

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

This should help

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.

you can put all your files in a zip folder and place a pass word on that by going in to the folder and going to file then click add password its easy.

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.

Dear
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.
