There is a way to password a flash drive The most reliable way to password protect a flash drive is to encrypt it, and the best free program currently available for encryption is TrueCrypt. Link :- [|http://www.truecrypt.org/] This program features a powerful form of disk encryption which allows an entire drive to be encrypted (or a specific file created on a disk which will be “mountable”). Mounting allows a virtual drive to be created and stored inside one encrypted file on a disk, which you can access by a drive letter on your computer. Why is it best to use this mountable file option when creating your encrypted flash drive? Well, if you use the “whole drive encryption” the drive is useless without installing TrueCrypt. If you use the file method, you can still store non-encrypted information on the flash drive for anyone to access and keep the encrypted information in a special password protected file. The instructions on how to create a TrueCrypt encrypted flash drive can be found at TrueCrypt’s website What makes this software so fantastic? The open source nature of the software means it is free to use and has been tested by many individuals to determine the encryption is strong, secure and quick to use Another alternative is to purchase a flash drive with built in encryption. Some flash drives have a hardware encryption, which is accessed first through software that you run off the flash drive while others have a key pad to enter in a password before the drive will be accessible.
