Forgot Password - Kingston Technology DataTraveler 4000 User Manual

Forgot Password

If you forget your password, you can click
on the 'Forgot Password' link that appears
in the login window when DT4000_Launcher
is executed (see .)
Figure 10.3
This option will allow you to create a new
password, but in order to protect the privacy
of your data, the DT4000 will be formatted.
This means that all of your data will be
erased in the process.*
When you do click on 'Forgot Password', a
message box ( ) will appear and
Figure 10.4
ask if you want to enter a new password
prior to executing the format. At this point,
Figure 10.3 – Forgot Password
you can either 1) click 'OK' to confirm or 2)
click 'Cancel' to return to the login window.
If you opt to continue, you will be prompted
to create a new complex password and a
new hint. The hint is not a mandatory field,
but it can be useful in providing a clue as to
what the password is, should the password
ever be forgotten.
(Note: The hint CANNOT be an exact match
Figure 10.4 – Prompt Before Format
to the DT4000 password.)
*Note: A device format will erase ALL of the information stored on the DT4000's secure data
partition.
