    To all the people, who were reporting that this doesn't work. Firstly, check for any external switch on your USB drive. Some USB drives have a switch on them, using which you can turn on or off, the write protection. If they don't, then you have to follow the method that I showed you in the Video. I repeat once again, this works only on the computer using which you created the write protection.
    And here is a reply for all of those who were making mean comments that this is not working. If you can easily remove write protection from any computer as you wish, then where is the security for your USB? I mean, what is the use of locking your USB drive, if anyone can remove the lock soo easily, from their own Computer. Just think.
    Cheers!

    Your advice regarding using the computer that the write protection was initiated from makes no technical sense that I am aware of. I am however, embarrassed to admit it is correct. Thank you sir. It does however apear that the repaired drive will only work on that one computer. No problem, I still salute you.

    Hey, Tech Raj -
    I just want to say a quick thank you. The write protected video helped me greatly and, most importantly, quickly this morning, as I am dealing with a triple whammy - a flashdrive with access issues, lost files, and all of a sudden WAS write protected. I appreciate your video very much!

      May be your USB is write protected from some other computer without your knowledge.
      Also, a USB drive can be write protected automatically sometimes, when you are running an OS from it, or installing an OS from it.

    I have purchased NEW SanDisk Ultra Pendrive 32gb USB 3, as soon as I opened the packet and plug the Pendrive into the computer the PENDRIVE is showing WRITE PROTECTED, I am not able to write anything or format it.
    1. Tried using DISKPART--------------method failed to remove Write Protection and the current state is READ ONLY.
    2.Tried using EaseUS partition Pro-----method failed to remove Write Protection (error Cannot format disk Write protected)
    3. Tried the Regedit method to change StorageDevicePolicies-----Failed method, Also I don't have StorageDevicePolicies folder, I have created one and set the value to 0 but nothing worked.
    4. Tried UfixII Pny/HP software----------Failed (Device Not found the error)
    5. Tried AOMEI Partition Assistant Unlimited Edition 6.5-----Failed (not able to format due to write protection)
    6. Tried Restore v3.18.0.0------Failed (Device not found)
    7. Tried Win32Disk Imager----Failed method
    8. Tried Formatter Silicon Power v3.7-----------Failed (No device found)
    9. Tried to Unallocated Space from Disk Manager------But not able to unallocated space(Failed)
    10. Tried Formatting through mobile by connecting through OTG cable-----But Failed because of Write Protection Error.
    11. Tried BOOTICE software----But Failed (write protection error)
    So Finally I am giving up, wasted my 4-5hrs time, but no solution found, watched over 15-20 videos on UA-cam, each video contain solution from above methods, especially the DISK PART and Regedit method.
    *So friends final Notes*:- Don't waste time, If your Pendrive is NEW replace it from the online website you have purchased if it is under warranty Replace it from the service center, Else Time to buy the new one.
