In an earlier reply, l said all my photos are kept on external hard drives.
My question was simply how to unlock a 4 year old memory card.

If the original files are not locked individually, copy them to an external drive. If you're curious, reformat the SD Card in the same camera that recorded them originally. Copy the files back to the same card and try again. You might find that that makes a difference.
I'm with Paul on this, however... SD media are for acquiring images. Solid state drives are for editing, and spinning platters are for storage.

You're welcome.
Don't forget about this one either:
"I forgot about insufficient space...
I intrinsically never let that happen. I never "fill" a card.
A save writes the file to an empty space on the device and then the old file FAT table entry gets removed, and the old file space made available.
The save does not "replace" (overwrite) the old file in its location."

Not if the physical media, your consumer-grade / consumer-written media, has degraded such that no drive can read it any longer. Just keep regularly reading UHH, you'll see the next instance of lost images here shortly.

Like said earlier, just watch, most every 6 months or so, another UHH community member is reminded these consumer-grade, consumer-written media are unreliable as long-term storage for any form of critical data. You can shoot the messenger, but it's your risk you create for yourself. Do as you feel right, even ignoring the collective experiences of others in the same predicament.

You say your photos are downloaded and backed up, so why are you messing with the cards? Edit on your computer, unlock and reformat the cards. Test to see if they work. Share your photos in any of many different ways. Do not edit on the cards. (Which you don’t seem to be able to do anyway)

SD cards are known to fail, do not edit anything on them.
