Hi

I need an encryption software to encrypt data on pen drive. Kindly note that the a password is needed as soon as the pendrive is connected to a
machine.

Is there a free software available. Where I can put password, reset it as
well as if user forget password admin can decrypt it to access data.

Kindly advise.

At my job we use the Kingston DataTraveler Secure drives. It's a hardware based encryption device, so you don't have to install any software on the machine. Once you connect it to your computer it will ask for a password in order to access the drive. Of course it's Windows only so I don't know if that helps you at all or not.

Thanks,
Tom
