Note: If you still input the password incorrectly during the additional 10 attempts, you need to
completely reset the secure hard drive.
The number of possible attempts, both before and after the LastTry code entered, can be set up in
administrator mode. The minimum number of the possible attempts is two both before and after the LastTry
code. The maximum number is 10. To set up the number of possible attempts, do the following:
1. Enter administrator mode. See "Enter administrator mode" on page 7 for more information.
2. Press +5 for three seconds and the indicator double blinks in red.
3. Input the number (from two to nine) to set up the number of the possible attempts. The indicator blinks
fast in green and blinks the same times you set up. For example, if you set up eight, the indicator blinks
eight times and the possible attempts before and after the LastTry code is eight.
