These days, some devices give you the option of protecting the contents of a memory card with a password. That is fine and dandy until it comes time to recall the password and you realize that you have forgotten it; you are stuck with a bricked card and your data is trapped. That is unless you have a USB Memory Unlock. The gadget won’t be able to retrieve your data but it will be able to scrub your card so that you can use it again. All you do is plug the device into a USB port, stick your card into the slot and wait for the LED to flash; memory card unlocked sans data.

Price: $16 [Gadgetizer]
