My friend has a similar prob.
He locked a 10 GB folder wid a software & forgot the password.
Now it is occupying the 10 GB & shows only 0 KB in folder properties.
Can't be accessed even from new window installations.

Reinstall that software which you used before- exactly in the same place where you had installed it before. Now provide the old password and see if this works.

@Spyder- Full Format that drive in order to get rid of the locked space.

yeah BOTH THE ABOVE SUGGESTIONS ARE THE BEST WAYS..

try REPARTITIONING YOUR HDD BY DM... IT WILL SURELY WORK AND THEN REINSTALL WINDOWS

Rebooting
try a thing or 2 before formatting...

Just Right Click of My Computer on the start menu, the select Manage

now go to Disk Management to see whether any Partition is hiding without a drive letter of any such... post a screen shot here of the Disk Management if nessacery...

the usual way is to reinstall that software and use it to unlock ur drive...this is why I hate file and folder locking softwares...

me i can access the files in my drive but the problem is when you click on mycomputer that drive will not show up. C: and D: and E: and G: for da cd-drive only will show up but when i want to access the f: drive i have to go run command then type f:\ then that is the only way i can access my files

Goto Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Computer Management->Select Disk Management.
See if the F: drive is allocated properly. Try Changing its drive letter.

Open "regedit" and goto:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

In right-side pane, look for following DWORD values:

NoDrives
NoViewOnDrive

If exist, then delete them.
