Flash drive help!

I have a flash drive that I inserted into a new Dell laptop that I have. The laptop prompted me to create a password to protect the flashdrive so I did. Now I cannot access the flash drive on nay other computer. When I go to properties it shows the flash drive at 0% used and 0% available.

What type of flash drive, and did it come with it's own password protection feature?

What happens when you reconnect the flash drive to the Dell laptop, can you delete the password protection?

The flash drive is a PNY 8 GB Attache. When I reconnect to the laptop it asks for the password and after I enter it I can access the flash drive and all of the files on it.

Well it seems that the PNY 8 GB Attache flash drive does not come with password protection software of it's own, so the software that did that must be on your laptop.

I would look through that software and see if there is any help there.

I've never been asked by any. What does the flash drive manual say about it?

If all else fails: go into Disk Management to remove the partition on that drive and create a new one. That won't contain the encryption software that plagues you now.
