Hi! I’d be happy to guide you through resetting your password for the CooDisk app on your iPhone. Just to clarify a bit — are you trying to reset the password to access the CooDisk app itself, or is this related to a password protecting a specific drive or files within the app?

Meanwhile, here’s a general approach for password resets on apps like CooDisk:
1. Open the CooDisk app on your iPhone.
2. Look for a “Forgot Password?” link or button on the login screen.
3. Tap that, and it should prompt you to enter your email address or username linked to your CooDisk account.
4. Follow the instructions sent to your email to reset your password.

If you don’t see a “Forgot Password?” option or if the password is for a secured USB drive connected through the CooDisk app, the reset might require wiping the drive, which erases all its data — unfortunately that’s sometimes the only method to remove the password protection in these cases.

Could you let me know exactly what kind of password you want to reset and what you’ve tried so far? This will help me provide the best step-by-step to resolve it effectively.

Thanks for clarifying that you want to reset the Disk Folder Encryption on your CooDisk app. Just to make sure I understand correctly: Are you looking to remove or change the password protection on an encrypted folder within the CooDisk app on your iPhone? Or are you trying to reset the encryption because you forgot the password?

Typically, with encrypted folders on CooDisk or similar encrypted USB drives, there isn’t a simple "reset" option to change or remove the encryption password without knowing the current one. If the password is forgotten, the usual way to regain access is to wipe the encrypted drive, which unfortunately erases all data on it.

Here’s a step-by-step suggestion based on typical CooDisk functionality:

1. Try to Unlock the Folder:
- Open the CooDisk app on your iPhone.
- Navigate to the encrypted folder you want to access.
- Enter the current password to unlock it.

2. Change or Remove Password (If You Know It):
- Once unlocked, look for options or settings related to folder encryption within the app.
- CooDisk usually allows you to change the password or remove encryption from the folder if you provide the current password.

3. Wipe the Drive (If Password is Forgotten):
- If you’ve lost the password and can’t unlock the folder, unfortunately, the only option to "reset" the encryption is to wipe the entire USB drive through the CooDisk app.
- This will erase all data on the drive but will remove the encryption to allow fresh setup.

4. Backup Before Wiping:
- If possible, back up any unencrypted files before wiping the drive.

If you want, I can walk you through how to perform these steps in more detail on your iPhone. Just let me know where you are stuck or if you’re trying to achieve something else with the encryption reset!

Also, please note that CooDisk may not support a direct "reset" button for Disk Folder Encryption without data loss, as the encryption is designed for security.

Would you like me to proceed with detailed instructions on wiping the drive or changing the password?
