tastypenguin · 11-11-2010, 10:26 PM

I forgot the password to mywinlocker and now i have lost files which isnt really important but i want to know if i uninstall it will what will happen to the files and partitioned space. Will the partition be lost? It warns me that i should move the encrypted files but i can't.
thanks.

If an entire partition is involved, I suggest you format it via Disk Management -
START | type diskmgmt.msc

It doesn't show up there. I think its hidden or secret or something because the program is meant to store files safely and secretly i think.

Does the full size of your HDD show up in Disk Management?

Take a screenshot of Disk Management; be sure to expand the screen and attach to post.

haha no its missing 32.23 gigs for some reason i mean i guess it doesn't have 500 gigs of HD space like it says it does but thats still a lot to have not show up in disk management.

There is no hidden or secret partition The WinLocker creates a Virtual Drive. You should have created a Master Password, and then there also is the Password Hint in the software.

Ok I'll just uninstall then. Nothing too important was on it.
Thanks
