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".
