Remove write-protection from your drive

Remove write-protection from your drive


How to Remove write-protection from your drive
 Some memory cards and USB pen drives have write protection switches, which allows you to prevent files from being deleted, or any new files being written to the device. It also prevents the drive or card from being formatted.
Format a USB drive that is write-protected
Occasionally, you’ll find that a USB flash drive will refuse to format and Windows will tell you that it is write protected, even though there is no switch.
Here are a couple of methods you can try to format the drive and remove the write protection. Bear in mind that there is no guarantee that they will work for you: your drive or memory card may be corrupt or broken and no utility or low-level formatting tool will make it work again. The only solution in this case is to buy a new drive.

Removing write-protection in the Registry using Regedit.exe

In any version of Windows from XP onwards, run Regedit.exe (searching regedit will usually show the program at the top of the list).
Navigate to the following key:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\
CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies
Regedit StorageDevicePolicies
Double-click on the WriteProtect value in the right-hand pane of Regedit.exe. Change the Value data from 1 to 0 and click OK to save the change. Close Regedit and restart your computer. Connect your USB drive again, and you should find it is no longer write protected. You can now format the drive as normal by right-clicking on it in My Computer and choosing Format.
If you can’t find StorageDevicePolicies, you can try creating a key by right-clicking in the white space in the Control folder and choosing New -> Key and carefully entering the name.
Regedit new key
Now double-click on the new key (folder) and right-click once again and choose New -> DWORD. Name it WriteProtect and set its value to 0. Click OK, exit Regedit and reboot your computer.
If this method doesn’t work, try the following:

Removing write-protection using Diskpart

With your USB drive plugged in, launch a command prompt. Do this by searching for cmd.exe in the Start menu (or Start screen in Windows 8). In Windows XP, click Start then Run, and type cmd.exe in the box.
NOTE: you may need to run Cmd.exe with administrator privileges if you see an “access is denied” message.
To do that, right-click on the shortcut and choose Run as administrator. In Windows 8, simply choose Command prompt (admin).
Now, type the following, pressing Enter after each command:
diskpart
list disk
select disk x (where x is the number of your USB flash drive – use the capacity to work out which one it is)
attributes disk clear readonly
clean
create partition primary
format fs=fat32  (you can swap fat32 for ntfs if you only need to use the drive with Windows computers)
exit
Diskpart

How to hack into a Database of a Website or Server?

 
What will you need?
You need basic computer skills such as making new folders.
You Need a dos called Wget You can download
http://www.mediafire.com/download/s99y70va9f6e427/wget.exe

You need to have administrative privileges on your computer.

put it on the root of your operating system, most people have "C" So go there and make a new folder called wget NO CAPS. Inside only put the dos. (btw the dos doesn't open I will show you how to use it)

Open Cmd
In XP go to run and put CMD or command.com
In vista/7 Search for CMD and right click open as Administrator.

In Cmd put "cd C:\wget" No quotes and if your main drive is not C put it as your main drive.In Cmd put "cd C:\wget" No quotes and if your main drive is not C put it as your main drive.

Post this command "wget -r -A.jpg" (Don't press enter) See how it says .jpg, you can make it the extension your trying to get. Right now it would take any file with the extension .jpg and download it. If you changed the command to wget -r -A.html it would get all the html files etc

Now after that you can space once and put the website or link/server you want to take from. It will check for safety and certificates if you don't want it too because its a hassle you can put this. --no-check-certificate. So after you put the first command you space you put this then you space again and post the website/link/server and port if you want to get specific.

Now you're set! Just press enter and watch the magic happen. You can open another cmd and do another file extension at the same time.

Now just go to the wget folder on C and open it. There should be a new folder of the website in there. Click on it and thats the files.
