Hi,
This particular drive automatically write protects anything.....you can't change it!
Here is a link:

Please go to the link, scroll down to beneath the picture of the drive, and read the explanation on how you can change the password, to be able to read it. But, as the steps indicate, if you change the password, it will erase everything on the drive !
Best wishes,
Fredg
