3. How to create a new User PIN

A new encryption key is automatically created under the following circumstances:
• After hacking detection has been triggered by 10 successive failed attempts
to unlock.
• Drive has been manually reset (see heading #9).
When either of the above two scenarios occur, it will be necessary to set a new
User PIN by following the instructions below.
User PIN requirements:
• Must be between 7-15 digits in length
• Must not contain repeating numbers/letters, e.g., (3-3-3-3-3-3-3)
• Must not contain sequential numbers/letters, e.g., (1-2-3-4-5-6-7),
(7-8-9-0-1-2-3-4-5-6), (7-6-5-4-3-2-1)
