How To Change Admin Pin - iStorage datAshur User Manual

9. How to change Admin PIN

Caution: Entering the Admin PIN to access a locked drive will clear the User PIN. If a user forgets their PIN,
access to their drive is regained by defining a new user PIN. For security reasons, we highly recommend
that a new User PIN be created immediately once the drive has been unlocked using the Admin PIN.
Admin PIN requirements:
• Must be between 7-15 digits in length
• Must not contain only repetitive numbers, e.g. (3-3-3-3-3-3-3)
• Must not contain only consecutive numbers, e.g. (1-2-3-4-5-6-7), (7-8-9-0-1-2-3-4), (7-6-5-4-3-2-1)
• datAshur must NOT be connected to a host
Once an Admin PIN has been created, the datAshur needs to be unlocked by the administrator in order to change the Admin
PIN. The Admin PIN cannot be changed from the User mode.
