How can I remove microSD card’s security password

Asked By Ishan 0 points N/A Posted on - 09/25/2011

I'm using a SanDisk microSD 4GB in my Nokia E71. Long time ago I put a password in my SD card for some security reason but I’ve forgot the password because I didn’t use it after then. But now when I tried to use this card in another phone or in my computer its not allowing to access and says this card is not accessible.  Even I can’t format this card. I'm not worried about my data.

Is there any idea to remove this password?

How can I remove microSD card’s security password

It is good that you are not worried about your data because the only way to remove the password will be to format the memory card. You would also need a Nokia E-series phone to do this, the best phone to use is an E65 Nokia.

First, you need to insert the card in the phone, then go to the Memory Card menu found under the Tools menu. Select options and choose the Format Memory Card. Confirm by pressing yes, when you are asked to and then the phone will format the memory card.

Hope this helps! Good luck.
