Secured and Confused?????

Hi guys, I don't know if I'm in the right place but I can't find anything anywheree else.
My problem is......
I have a Freecom External Hard Drive running Freecom Personal Media Suite, the True Image software from Acronis.
My Problem is......
Once I started up the HD and sent data from a particular folder to the HD, it sync'd and secured my whole PC. Now everytime I log onto my PC every folder and application requires a password.

I have tried uninstalling the software but everything is still locked out. I have most of my apps working but it's a pain entering a password for everything all the time.

Anyone have any ideas?

Hi,
I using win XP home edition and my problem started when I tried to send data to the external hd. The software said that I needed to sync it to whatever folders, so I made a new folder in MY DOCUMENTS, called it TEST, threw a few things in there and clicked SYNC, entered a pass, then the folder locked and nothing went to the hd. I thought nothing more of it, I was going to get my techie friend to sort it out for me. I carried on working and powered off. Next day I go and power up and all of my desktop icons are now displaying a LOCKED icon, every program icon is now a locked icon.

PANIC SETS IN.

I try to uninstall the software, it does so and I reboot, but all icons and programs are still locked out.

So..... On my 2 week old £1200 laptop which has all my business information is now a paperweight. And there I was thinking, "I'll get an external to back up all my software so as not to loose it", when all I did was install the HD and it locked everything out.
Sorry for my sarcasim but I am really stressed and depressed about this.

 

You should contact freecom : their Freecom Software Suite can "lock data for security"

I wonder if you have not inadvertenly locked your data incl HD ( perhaps the suite defaults to lock ?)

I haven't been able to find more precise info about that suite on their website so you shoudl take contact with them directly !

Good luck

 

Manual for Freecom here

Her is a manual for a Freecom HD-3 and secure process : read thoroughly
They explain secure / crypting / sync

I am almost sure you have put your data in their "secure zone"
Can you access the secure&compress menu in the Freecom security suite ?
Try to change password from existing one ( the one you surely gave at sync time) to a blank one

Thanks for the help guys, I emailed freecom several times and got no reply. Thinking of trying a re-format now...... don't know what else to do...
