My PSP Memory Card Is Locked

While a locked memory card in your Sony Playstation Portable device protects the memory card's data, it also prevents you from saving new information onto the card. To unlock the memory card, you must manually disable the card's lock, which re-enables the card's use on your PSP device. As with any device, the memory card should be configured only when it is removed from the PSP and the device is turned off; this prevents accidental damage to the memory card.
