[CODING] Encryption/Decryption

Question

I have a USB drive I have misplaced for 4 years that is encrypted with files. When I try to formate the drive my PC sends a message that said, “ You are unauthorized”, or something to that extent. I want to decrypt the USB drive on a Windows platform and find out how to encrypt it again. Answers, that have anything to do with codes list them also.

I would like to have the first set of answers on encrypting/decrypting without the action of downloading any software.

I would like a second set of answers involving the action a downloading software.

Thank all who respond.
