    Try this: Folder Lock

    I've never heard of it but it says it works with Flash drives. Besides, it seems to be free, so even if it doesn't... well, who cares :)

    Hi,

    I have a 2Gig Micro Cruzer FlashDrive it comes with a security software program. So there is software availible for flash drives.

    It states that if the password is lost the only thing that can be done is to delete your saved files from the drive. Reset the password within the software after all files have been deleted. Recovering the flash drive cannot be done without deleting all the files on the drive.

    So if you forget the password all the data will have to be deleted to use the flash drive again.

    Hope this helps!

    DTH :D
