iStorage datAshur User Manual page 19

Q. HOW DO I CREATE AN ADMIN PIN?
A. The Admin PIN is useful in a corporate environment where an Administrator can provide access to the datAshur if the User
PIN is forgotten or unavailable.
Please follow this procedure:
Press the Key Button
Enter the User PIN within 10 seconds and press the Key Button.
Rapidly press the Key Button twice and hold the Key Button on the second press for 4 seconds.
Enter a new Admin PIN and press the Key Button.
NOTE: If the LEDS in the above step are "single blinking" then the
first key press did not register or was not fast enough.
If you continue, you will be changing the User PIN.
Re-enter the New Admin PIN and press the Key Button.
Q. WHAT IS BRUTE FORCE OR HACKING ATTEMPT PROTECTION?
A. 10 consecutive incorrect PIN entries will activate the brute force mechanism and will completely reset the drive
as follows:
• A new encryption key is generated.
• The User and Admin PIN are deleted.
• All the data on the datAshur is deleted.
• A new User PIN will need to be set.
• The datAshur will need to be formatted.
Q. HOW DO I RESET THE datAshur?
A. In case the User PIN is forgotten, or if you would like to delete all data stored on the drive and configure a New User PIN,
the RESET process will clear the User and Admin PIN, the encryption key and will destroy all data. This means a New User
PIN will have to be defined in order to re-enable the datAshur.
Also, since this forces the creation of a new encryption key, the datAshur will have to be reformatted.
Please follow this procedure:
Press and hold the Key Button and the number 2 Button for 3 seconds.
Press 9 - 9 - 9 and press the Key Button.
Press the Key Button again.
NOTE: When the solid RED LED is on, a New User PIN will need to be set.
