Device Usage (Windows & macOS Environment)
Login for Admin & User (Admin enabled)
If the device is initialized with Admin and User Passwords (Admin role) enabled, the IronKey D500S application will
launch, prompting for the User Password login screen first. From here you can login with the User Password, view
any entered contact information, or Login as Admin (Figure 5.1). By clicking on the 'Login as Admin' button (shown
below) the application will proceed to the Admin Login menu where you can login as Admin to access the Admin
settings and features (Figure 5.2) .

Login for User-Only Mode (Admin not Enabled)

As mentioned previously, although it is
recommended to use the Admin role functionality to
get the full benefit of your device, the IronKey drive
can also be initialized in a User-Only (Single
Password, Single User) configuration. This is an
option for those who would like a simple, single
password approach to securing the data on your
drive. (Figure 5.3)
Note: To enable Admin and User passwords, use the
Reset Device button to put the drive back into the
initialization state where you can enable Admin and
User passwords. ALL data on the drive will be
formatted and lost forever when a Reset Device
occurs.
