DESCRIPTION

       This tool can be used to control some of the  special  features  of  U3
       Flash disks.

OPTIONS

       -c     Change current password.

       -d     Disable  device  security  leaving  the data intact. The current
              password is required to  perform  this  command.  WARNING:  this
              makes  all  current  data  files  AND possibly also deleted data
              public.

       -D     Dump all raw info(for debug)

       -e     Enable device security, protecting all files  currently  on  the
              data partition using a password.

       -h     Print a short help message.

       -i     Display device information.

       -l <cd image>
              Load  a  new  CD image into the cd partition of the device. Make
              sure the cd partition is big enough to contain  the  file.  Else
              you’ll have to repartition the device using the ’-p’ option.

       -p <cd size>
              Repartition  device, reassinging the device space between the cd
              and data partition. The argument specifies the size  of  the  CD
              partition.  The  rest of the device will be assigned to the data
              partition. The  data  partition  needs  reformating  after  this
              command has been issued.

       -R     Reset  device security destroying private data. This can be used
              if the device is blocked or the password is lost.

       -u     Unlock  secured  data  partition.  This  requires  the   current
              password.

       -v     Use verbose output

       -V     Print version information

                                                                    u3-tool(1)
