      Don't hold your breath. People like this guy only do the 'easy stuff' - they don't want to know when their 'advice' is worthless - as most of them are. Probably better off throwing the usb out, driving over it, burning it, then throwing it off a cliff. Go back and do some research into decent usb drives that aren't write protected pieces of crap, that aren't made in chyna and that will allow you to see and access the 'security' tab under 'properties' so you that can change thngs.
