tag tool.py format error

Asked by ian@iwjohnston.com

Hello Stephen,

A curiosity question. I have a number of Sony Felicia-Lite tags. All but two respond to the tag tool.py format command. However two (which I have used to store NDEF text data throw up the following python errors. Have I locked the card maybe?

It looks like the second card is write protected with password and the first card is read/write protected. I'd guess you have used the tagtool protect command at some point in time. If you remember the password you may be able to do formatting and writing with "tagtool.py -p PASSWORD ..."

Can you help with this problem?
