viewing data from harddrive in windows 7

Question

I have installed folder lock to protect my Drive and lock it , once it locks my drive and I goto properties I saw something like this

once you unlock the drive you get all the data back . unfortunately the software is no more allowing me to unlock the drive,Since the data is inside the hard drive , is their any way to get the data through any means? I tried even through command prompt but couldn't get that done. please help

Answer 1

Goto Computer Management

then click on Disk Management

Right clik on the Drive and change its letter

BINGO you are done.

There is a big flaw in this software it works on drive NAME

so if your drive is D , change it to E and you will get your data back Cheers

Answer 2

Sorry, but no. If the encryption software is even remotely competent, it will be mathematically "difficult" (which is a major understatement) to access your data. Your best bet is to restore from backup.

Update: So Folder Lock isn't actually a security problem at all. Ok then! But take this as an easy lesson: start making backups today. Think of all the stuff you could have lost! Make sure you don't find yourself in that situation again and start making offline copies of your important things.
