15. How to verify whether an Admin/User PIN has been set up
The following table illustrates how to determine which PINs, User and/or Admin, have been set up.
With the datAshur Pro in a locked state (all LEDs off), press the KEY button once.
1. Press KEY button once
Only User/default PIN exists
Only Admin PIN exists
Both User and Admin PIN's exist
16. How to enable Read-Only in Admin mode
When Admin writes content to the datAshur Pro and restricts access to read-only, the User cannot change this setting in User
mode. To set the datAshur Pro to Read-Only, please follow the steps below.
Caution:
Entering the Admin PIN to access a locked drive will clear the User PIN. For security reasons, we
highly recommend that a new User PIN be created immediately once the drive has been unlocked
using the Admin PIN. Refer to section 13 on page 11.

(treble-click)

datAshur Pro to Read/Write, please follow the steps below.
Caution:
Entering the Admin PIN to access a locked drive will clear the User PIN. For security reasons, we
highly recommend that a new User PIN be created immediately once the drive has been unlocked
using the Admin PIN. Refer to section 13 on page 11.

Questions and answers
I have not used my datashur for several months and have forgotten my password how can I recover access
If you forget the User PIN, you can use the Admin PIN to unlock the drive and set a new User PIN. However, if you forget both the User and Admin PINs, there is no way to recover access to the data. In such a case, you must reset the datAshur PRO. The reset process deletes all data, clears the User and Admin PINs, and creates a new encryption key, reverting the device to the default User PIN of "1-1-2-2-3-3-4-4".
