Hey There!
This is Teja
In this video, I will be teaching you how to remove the Write Protection on your USB Flash Drive.
NOTE : You will be able to remove the write protection only from the same computer using which you created the write protection on your USB drive.
Generally, there are two ways to remove the write protection on your USB. The first method is by making some changes with the Registry keys in the Registry Editor, and the second method is by using Command Prompt. Since, I feel that its easy to remove the write protection by using Command Prompt, I will be teaching you the second method.
Here are the commands that you need to run in the Command Prompt :
diskpart - It enters the diskpart, and opens up a new cmd window
list disk - It lists all the disks which are presently conncted to your PC
select disk 1 - It makes the USB drive as the active drive
attributes disk clear readonly - It removes the write protection on USB.

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!

[@vishalsrivastava3656]

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 KZbin, 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.

@Tech raj I installed memory card in mi360 camera, a couple tried checking a video using MI app but couldn't do it, took out the memory card and got to know it's write protected, tried formatting through mi camera and also tried the steps you have mentioned, didn't work, any tips on how to resolve this ?

[@63off]

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.

[@MASPakistan]

I have tried but, still, I am facing the same error "The Disk is write-protected". I have checked the disk detail, " Disk 1 is now the selected disk.
