Entering the PIN

Entering the PIN
Caution
1-14
Each time you insert a new smart card, or remove and insert the same smart card,
you will be asked to enter its PIN. When the Encryption System detects the card, it
opens a PIN dialog box. Enter the smart card's PIN. Once the PIN has been
correctly entered, you will have access to your Secure folder. If a wrong PIN is
entered or the smart card is not present, you will not be allowed to access your
Secure folder.
If you type the PIN wrong seven times in a row, the card is locked from further use.
This is a security feature to prevent someone from trying to guess your PIN.
See "If you forget your PIN" on page 18.
