What if I forget the User PIN?
Use your Admin PIN to enter Admin Mode, and then create another User PIN in
Admin Mode.
NOTE: If you forget or lose your ADMIN PIN there is no way to access
the drive. Even an Apricorn employee will be unable to help you access
your data. In the event that this happens, the only way to use the drive
is to do a complete reset, which will reset the encryption key making all
data on the drive unrecoverable.
