I have an SD card, that is broken, the slider for the "Lock" is gone. When I put it into my computer it turned out to be in read-only, How can I override this with software? I need to format the SD card. I am using Ubuntu and Windows 7
Answer
From sd card reader not working :
I found that unlocked, my Eye-Fi card should only be inserted 20-22mm
into the card reader (not all the way). Locked, it seemed to work
fine inserted all the way.

Another solution from Repair missing SD-card lock :
Get a piece of aluminum foil and stick it onto a piece of tape then put it on SD :

Cut a straw into pieces that can fit into the hole of the Lock
and fill the hole with them
and cover with the other end of a scotch-tape. Use 2-3 pieces of straw :
Insert into the card-reader :
