EasyDisk offers two great ways to protect your data.

Write Protect Switch

The 1st is the super easy traditional write protect switch. Just like floppy disks and zip disks, the EasyDisk has a small switch that locks and unlocks the EasyDisk write capabilities. When the switch is moved over to the "Locked" position, data can only be read and not written. This is great when sharing your EasyDisk with others. This will prevent any accidental loss of data.

Password Security

The 2nd security feature will work only with Windows users.

Warning - this procedure will erase any data on your EasyDisk. Please backup your vital data before following these steps.

How to enable password protection feature

Insert the EasyDisk driver CD the EasyDisk. Explore the Driver CD, go to "Utility" folder, double click the "UDReset" file, type "Y", then type any key to close the window. Unplug EasyDisk, then plug it back in. Go to the "Utility" folder again, double click "Mformat", check "Quick Format" and select the "Enable Security" box.

Format the drive. Unplug it, when you plug it back in again, a key icon "passed" will appear when you access your EasyDisk, double click it and key in the default password "1111", then you can start to read or write on EasyDisk.

Each time you use your EasyDisk, you will need to run the PASSID software to unlock your data.

You can change the password as often as you please, but please make sure to memorize your new password. For any reason if you forget your new password, you have to repeat the above process to format your EasyDisk again, and as a result all files you have saved on EasyDisk previously will be erased completely.

How to disable password protection feature

Repeat the above procedure, and uncheck the "Enable Security" box before formatting.

With these two great security features, you know that your data will always be safe and secure.
