Hey there, Pavlex4.

Do you need any data recovered from that flash drive, or you just want to make it work again? If you don't need data from it, you could try reformatting it by using a different computer, to see if the same thing happens. Also, take a look at this article for a couple of more options on how to remove write protection form a USB flash drive: http://www.wikihow.com/Disable-Write-Protection. Another option would be to try formatting it by using one of the formatting tools/utilities, which some of the manufacturers offer for their devices.

Hope that helps.
