Removable Access Tool (a.k.a. Ratool) is a simple to use portable freeware application which aids in the control of external storage devices such as USB flash drives, CD/DVD drives, as well as floppy, tape and WPD devices. Ratool can disable USB storage access or enable write protection on all USB flash drives, thus preventing data from being modified or deleted, protecting your confidential data from being copied by others.
There are many such tools available online, but they are often easily circumvented. For example, if you use one of these USB disablers to disable a flash drive, someone could simply use another tool and enable it again. This means these tools are not actually protecting your USB ports, which is why we created Ratool. By using Ratool, you won’t have to worry about this, as other tools cannot easily break Ratool’s protection.

It is impossible for many users to forget their passwords at the same time. We will not allow those people to abuse Ratools security system. We have received complaints abou it.
Dear Author,
Could you help me recover the password?
I installed this software more than 12 months ago and I forgot the password and also no password hint.
Dear Author,
Could you help me recover the password?

Please check your email for instructions.
Dear Author
First of all thank for this excellent utility, has helped me a lot. I’m having a problem and I hope you can help me, I can not remember my password. This happened because I used Ratool on my PC and I stopped using it for about a year and a half because the power supply stopped working. Now I buy a new power supply and using the PC I realize that I had been blocked and I can not remember which password I used a year and a half ago. The only solution that I find and I do not even know if it works would be to format my PC but if this I can avoid it would be the best since I have a lot of things that I do not want to lose and obviously I can not back up anything since I have the USB and the blocked disk reader . If you could give me a solution, I would be very grateful.
Regards!
