    As the reply in the FAQ to 'i have forgotten my password' (above) mentions a secure partition, i am assuming your flash drive works like this:

    - there are two partitions (or drives).
    - the first one holds a program you run (and enter your password into) to access the second partition.

    You need to format the second partition, the secure one, to be able to use it again.
