Folder lock...cant unlock

shreyaBling · 18-12-2011, 11:14 PM

Hi,

I had recently created a lock folder and added another folder to it on Folder Lock 6.5. Now when i try to unlock it a error message come up asking me to restart (i have attached the same as FL1).

But even after numerous restarts nothing has changed. Please help me , It has all my five years of portfoilo work and without it, its gonna be a disaster in my life. PLEASE HELP ASAP....thanx

P.s. "FL2" this is the message i get when i press the 'browse' button. two im[portant things i noticed...

1. I have 2 versions of Folder LOCK ....version 6.5.0(that i used) and version 5.7.5
2. It was a trial version and it apparently expired just when i locked my first folder and keeps asking me to buy but supposedly still would work for 15 attempts

well I used Folder lock log time ago I don't remember how that works.. is your folder visible in explorer?.. If yes then try booting from linux live cd and copy all your data to another folder/drive..

Seems your software is corrupt but I don't think uninstalling can help.

as clmlbx suggested, try booting with linux live cd and backup the data.
does your Folder Lock provide protection in "safe mode" as well?? If not, log in to your windows a/c using safe mode and see if the data is visible or not. Good luck mate!!!

Few things that can help -

1. Try re-installing the software (only the 6.5 version, as two versions just might clash). In FL2, it does seem there's some error in the installation.

2. I don't think booting into LiveCD will help as the Folder Lock FAQ states that

Quote:

"Folder Lock has been developed after extensive and rigorous testing into application behavior against any hack attempt. This testing and research has made Folder Lock not only the fastest, but also the most advance data protection application in its category. There are no backdoors in Folder Lock whatsoever. But don't just take our word for it. Go ahead. Give it a whirl! "

and I don't think they would make it so that anyone could access the files from a liveCD, after they charge for the software. But its still worth a try.

3. If there's no way around, use data recovery softwares like EaseUs or Recuva to recover your lost folder.
