Admin Features

Options available to reset the User password
The features of Admin configuration allow multiple ways to securely reset the User's password, should it be
forgotten, or if a temporary User password is created and you would like to enforce a password change upon next
login for the User login. Below are the features that can be helpful to reset the User password:

User Password Reset:

Manually change the User password in the
'Admin Options' menu, which is an instant
change and will take effect on next User
login
(Figure 8.1)
Note: The password requirement criteria
will default to the original criteria that was
set during the initialization process
(Complex or Passphrase options).
Login Password Reset:
Enabling Login Password Reset will force
the User to login using a temporary
password set by the Admin, and then
change it to a password of their choice.
This is useful when the drive is given to
another person to use. (See Figures 8.2
and 8.3)
Note: Applying this reset will take place
upon next successful User login.
Password requirement criteria will
automatically be applied according to
the original option set during the
initialization process (Complex or
Passphrase options).
