Folder lock problem, how to unlock?

[wan632]

i have installed folder lock in my pendrive, and i accidently locked it, now my pendrive cannot be detected. how can i solve this problem

Dear,

Plenty complaints on fora... Just look for "Folder Lock problem" or "folder lock" + "problem" (or inaccessible, etc.)
Couldn't find a solution usefull for an amateur.

I had this problem: i installed version 5.3.5 in Vista, ? maybe incompatible ? , and the lock opened with my password, but a blank window opened + a message telling me ".... other location..." etc
I tried a powerfull data recovery tool. That did the trick for me. (Note: If you do not get the hint where to look for it or do not find it with google , post your mailadress here and i'll send you the name of the program.)

Folder Lock's latest version does it OK with Vista, in a test and for now. I'm not at ease yet. Anyway, its shareware for 30 days only, which is not very handy. There are free alternatives.

Hey techies,

One urgent problem. I have locked up an important licensekey file locked inside folder lock in the form of a .flk file. I did not encrypt the file and hence i have it with the name i saved it initially when folder lock asked me the .flk file name to have my original file locked.

Request folks to help me out on this as this is pretty urgent. Will be really grateful to u folks !!

Regards,
Karthick

Please help me asap !!! PLss

Okay guys ive had a similar problem i tried everything suggested nothing worked and so i tried deleting the folder01.flk locker hoping that it would unlock it but it didnt work. So i created a new locker and went to options and uninstalled the program from there, restarted the computer and it worked everything unlocked itself all files were accessible. Hope this helps this program is the biggest pain. btw i used folder lock version 6.3

Please try this, run registry by typing 'regedit' after clicking Start button in Windows and then click Run. Then delete this string value:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > FolderLock6 > LastLockerPath

Once you are done, try uninstalling from Start menu > Programs > Folder Lock
and then select uninstall.

After uninstalling Folder Lock 6 please go to My Documents and search for a file name locker with extension (*FLK) or (*FLKW) and delete. Do not forget to restart you computer before trying to delete or to open you locked files. This way solved my problems and I could remove 15GB of locked files by Folder Lock 6.

Hi there,

Same problem here. I've used FL 5.5.7 for several years without any problem. Suddenly all my files where gone in the locker folder. But when I look to Properties there is is still 2,7 GB in that folder.
Who can help me with this problem?

quimera7 says: delete this string value: HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > FolderLock6 > LastLockerPath

but in HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software, there isn't FolderLock.

Thanks in advance!!

What the heck

why the hell are you people digging up old threads [ 25-11-2006, 11:07 pm], can't you create a new one????

Let the old threads leave in peace.

Digging up 4 years old thread, disgusting

[TheHumanBot]

kootjekluit replied first then i replied lol so not my fault on bumping.
just clearing it up.

[CA50]

^^okay i am not blaming you, m blaming who dug up and all others those who helped in doing so.

[kootjekluit]

@ca50: I've searched this forum for my problem and found this thread. It was very recognizable so tried several options but it didn't work. That's the reason I've dug op those old stuff. Don't see what the problem is....

I've send you a PM vishalgmistry

[CA50]

digging up old treads make the whole forum a crap, instead you can just create a new thread. Now whats the problem in creating a new thread??

It seems that you have never tried to compare linux with windows. Actually general programs of windows (not all)don't work in linux and vice versa. I suggest:
1. Try ubuntu live cd (You can get latest on Digits DVD; I prefer to use it over other Open Source options) then navigate to your drive and simply move the files to other locations (other drive or media) and then format your drive preferentially by booting through CD as the software might stop you to format the drive while you are using windows.
2. If you are unable to get it try using a recovery software.(I used EASY RECOVERY) and select the drive. It will scan your drive and build a folder tree tree. Just select your folder/file and recover it. The folder lock won't stop it. it is a possibility that you might not see your files then select the mother folder of the folder in which you saved your files. After recovery Just Format your drive whichever way you want.
IF YOU FIND IT HELPFUL PLEASE REPLY ME OR YOU WANT THE RECOVERY TOOL FOR IT POST YOUR E-MAIL HERE I WILL SEND YOU

Hi there,

Thank you all for your support!! It worked as follows:
Send an email to newsoftwares and asked them for a solution.
They answered as follows:
To solve this problem download Folder Lock 5.9.5 , the last updated version of Folder Lock 5x from
http://www.newsoftwares.net/download...ock-5-full.exe and install it on the same location where you have it installed now.

So I did as mentioned but it didn't work.
Send an email again. Yes, they answered again:
Go to My Computer on your desktop and then run it, and the click tools menu and then click "Folder Options..." Then click the "View" tab and then select "Show hidden files and folders" option and uncheck the "Hide protected operating system files" and then go to the System directory of your Windows which is typically C:\Windows\System32 or C:\Windows\System and search for a file "windrvNT.sys" in these folders. Then delete this file "windrvNT.sys" (this is Folder Lock locking driver file) and then restart your computer to get your folders/files or drives back.

And guess what? IT WORKED!! I'm very glad I got my files back!!
Hope this will help other people to. If you have any questions, send me an email.

Have a nice day!
