Can a microSD pwd be removed by a 9V electricity?


Recommended Posts

I've read that it can be done

something,by a DC 9V on the first

and the last pins ,though I don't believe :)

Has anyone tried it or something

similar,I've forgoted the password on my 1GB PQ1 card

which I setted with my new Nokia C3-01,how

can I do something WITHOUT any

digital device?

My USB card reader doesn't even recognize it.

I know also that it can be reformatted by some of the Nokia E an N series,can the data be restored after that?

Where? :w00t:

Please choose one:

  1. Popular mechanics
  2. Disney's Cinderella
  3. A friend told me
  4. Cannot remember

Technically, re-formatting does NOT mean "wiping".

If ONLY formatting is performed it is likely that data can be recovered.

If formatting is done after wiping (as in the case of a "forced access" with no password may do) NO data will be recoverable.

But it GREATLY depends on the platform and HOW the password is set.

Some SD cards use a file called MMCSTORE, see here:

Well, ...

The line (google translated from bulgarian) reads:

I read that can be deleted by submitting 9V voltage of first and last pin.

which means that you read about someone else that says he/she read. (this equates to pinpoint the source as "disney's Dumbo", instead ;))

Third hand (completely WRONG :w00t:) information.

Maybe *someone* read about this kind of thingies:

and either did not understand about them :whistle: OR knows MUCH MORE that "the rest of the world" :unsure:

As said before it greatly depends on HOW the password was set and on which platform (you can read the latter as "PHONE"), the card has INHERENTLY a Lock/Unlock feature, and if it has been locked, short of giving it the right password, you can "force erase" it (loosing all data). :(
