It depends on what technology you used to encrypt it. But in general, if you
lose the password to an encrypted drive, you're probably screwed. Any decent
encryption technology will not have a password recovery backdoor.

Hi,
I got a new flash drive and then had heard a lot about the truecrypt software so decided on securing my disk with it. During trying to create a secure volume, I select the full device rather than a single folder. At the step when it asks to format the drive, I clicked on format, but it said that format failed.
I have not been able to access my drive since then. When I plug it into the USB port, it shows as drive letter D: but clicking on it gives back a message 'Please insert a disk'
I have tried to access it via 'computer management' but it simply shows Drive D: as 'no media' Chkdsk says it cannot access the drive. Trying to mount the volume using truecrypt itself does not work either.
Can you please help me, I did not have anything useful on the drive so data recovery is not my concern, all I want is to recover the space on my drive.
Look forward to hearing from you,
Thanks,
Dév

Using the disk manager you'll probably have to create a new empty partition,
and then format it.
