My u3 ScanDisk flashdrive has screwed all up... I typed the wrong password that I added too many times. Now, It says it's permanately innacsessable- I know that's not possible. I can't access anything unless I tell it to delete everything and start from scratch. Or, there's the option to go online and access it there (some recognition thing), it gives you a code, ya type it in, and all's well, except all you have to do is get a new password, and all of the data is recovered (lots of CC crap). Is this true?

Hm. I really don't know what to say man. Um.

Try it. How would we know if this is true? See for yourself if the online thing works. I really don't think anyone here will be able to tell if the thing on your computer works. It is yours after all.

You might have better luck calling the manufacturer. IIRC, those U3 Cruzer drives are encrypted using your password as a key. Good luck undoing that.

Format it. I doubt anything's important enough to warrant the headache this will probably cause

I've writen my journal on it for like, a year- I can't just burn a years worth of memories- I just think like that.

Well it looks like your password shoulda been one of those memories.

Well if the memories are on the drive it wouldn't do him a great deal of good now would it?

I remembered the password, I just typed it wrong, like, tooo manney timess...

That... is an extraordinarily terrible 'feature'.
Try checking their forums and/or tech support lines.

Not really, it makes sense. It's intended to stop brute forcing, and who the ♥♥♥♥ is retarded enough to not pay attention to what they're typing when they know if they ♥♥♥♥ up enough they'll get locked out?

Umm, I actually accidentally deleted all of the files- so never mind. This, however, is a lesson- Always back up your shtuff.

In addition to my never-ending questions, how the (Insert noun profanity here) can I sync two drives? One uses the U3, one doesn't have any launchpad... I'm stuck- (I'm using two flash drives to back up the other) It's really annoying to have to copy/paste all of my (Insert verb profanity here + ing) documents.
