Try with a card reader...as snowmobile suggested,I don't think your mmc is corrupted...

Throw away the card and get a new one, if you have forgotten the password you (or somebody else) set for the card. If it was easy to bypass the password, it would be a useless security feature. If you have really valuable information on the card (worth much more than new cards cost, you can ask a data recovery service, such as http://www.ibas.com/ to help).
