How to delete pictures from locked Memory Stick?

I have a Sony Mavica 1.2 megapixel camera. I am trying to delete the pictures on the memory stick and it tells me the memory stick is locked. How do I unlock it to delete the pictures.

Could it be that your Memory Stick's lock switch is set to the lock position? The lock switch is located on the bottom of the Memory Stick, next to the connectors (see picture below). Move the switch to the other end of the arrow to unlock the Memory Stick.

My memory stick duo has no lock like the one posted on this web site. I cannot take any pictures. When I try it says "memory stick duo locked". I was not having any problems until I took it out and had some prints done at Wal-mart's machine. Need help! Cannot take pic's or delete.
Thank-you
