[. . . ] This password hint should be cryptic enough to give you an indication of what the password is, and should not make the password obvious to anyone else. The U3 Launchpad is configured to allow a certain number of failed login attempts before it locks access to the data on the U3 smart drive. Once your drive is locked, the only remedy is to erase the data (and installed applications) on your U3 smart drive and either create a new password or disable password protection. Each U3 smart drive comes with a pre-defined number of login attempts. [. . . ]
