Windows 10: how do i unlock free folder lock

i forgot my free folder lock password , how do i unlock

:)

 

Folder locked and dissapeared after unlock

Well here's something i found on this:

Lost my files in Folder Lock

But it doesn't work here , i don't have that folder.

Can somebody help me searching for a solution , tnx.

EDIT:

I did that and that's when the folder just disappeared but the data is still there, the program is very confusing about restoring files , it says that "files should become unlocked automatically" ... so where the heck are manual unlocking instructions.

It's not an encrypt , it's just a password lock , so data is all open. The problem is, i would get like 225 GB of individual files off the HDD recovery , i just want the harder way of accessing the folder but getting the folder structure , where can i find the time to SORT 220 GB of data omg.

 

Folder locked and dissapeared after unlock

Hello , i locked a big 225 GB folder with FOLDERLOCK (never had experience with these programs and just used something plain and simple but this is a crap program obviosly)

It was very confusing, i deleted the "locker" files which are used to hide the folder and it was weird because it didn't told me how to unlock a folder , reading through the help files it was apparently the way to unlock the folder , but now the folder disappeared (not hidden), but the data is still there, not erased, but the Drive still shows used space.

I might use recovery tools , what's a good one , i used some before, and they were slow.

 

Unlock or delete locked folder programmatically

1. Summary

I'm couldn't find, how I can unlock or delete locked folder with all subfolders via command-line interface.

2. Argumentation

I'm working on the project. For example, my sources folder — sources, output folder — output. I view files and/or make test changes in output → I add changes to sources → I run build command (build, for example), which should overwrite output. But build doesn't start correctly:

Therefore, before each build starting I opened LockHunter → unlocked output → ran build.

It would be nice, if would be possible run command for unlocking or deleting output before build, that I don't need manually run LockHunter every time, spending time on it.

3. MCVE

I created a folder KiraUnlockCLI → opened command prompt → moved to KiraUnlockCLI in it (cd KiraUnlockCLI) → KiraUnlockCLI locked:



I need unlock or delete KiraUnlockCLI programmatically.

4. Requirements

1. Any type of program can lock output folder and/or files in it, examples:
   
   1. Windows Explorer
      
   2. Command prompt
      
   3. Text editor
      
   4. Browser
      
   5. Images viewer
      
2. Solution must unlock folders, not files solely. I can open in third-party programs any files in output and its subfolders.
   
3. Relative paths must be supported. output is located in different directories for me, another developers and Continuous Integration (Travis CI, AppVeyor).
   

5. Not helped

5.1. Relative paths

1. LockHunter doesn't support relative paths.
   
   At the beginning of September 2019 I wrote an issue → I told about my issue in LockHunter Feedback form → I haven't received any feedback.
   

5.2. Folders support

These programs can unlock files, not folders.

1. FileASSASSIN:
   
   
2. BusyDelete
   

5.3. Specific PID

1. Handle — PIDs required for unlocking. But I need kill processes with any PID; see 4.1 item of my question.
   

5.4. GUI

I couldn't find any information about command-line interface of these programs:

1. IObit Unlocker
   
2. Unlock IT
   

5.5. Doesn't work

1. rm -rf KiraUnlockCLI (rm from GnuWin32):
   
   
2. OpenedFilesView — no effect after this command:
   
   
3. WhoLockMe doesn't work in Windows 10.
   
4. Unlocker — unlocker D:\SashaDebugging\KiraUnlockCLI:
   
   
   
   
5. DeadLock can't unlock folders via command-line interface. See my issue to DeadLock issue tracker.
   

6. Don't offer

1. I'm know side effects; please, don't tell me, that I don't need unlock folder.
   
2. I read these SuperUser questions and answers to them before post my question:
   
   1. Can't delete empty folder because it is used
      
   2. Is there a way to handle locked file from command line and release it?
      
   3. How do I delete a folder that's in use?
      
   4. Delete a directory from the Windows command line even if it's been opened in a program
      
   5. Delete locked file/folder from command line
      
3. I checked programs from this list on the Unlocker site.
