Establishing a User PIN
If no additional Users beyond the Admin will be permitted to access the drive’s data, disregard
this page’s contents as it relates only to the “User” PINs.
The Aegis Padlock DT can have one Admin and four additional Users, making a total of ve
authentication PINs.
Adding a User is a perfect way to securely share the drive or deploy it for use where the Users do
not require access to the drive’s Admin features. While the Users have limited functionality and
no Admin rights to the drive, they can still access all of its data, change their own User PINs, and
set the drive to Read Only or Read / Write mode.
There are two ways to establish a User PIN: Admin-generated while in Admin Mode, or User-
generated while in User Forced Enrollment State.
A.) ADMIN-GENERATED USER PIN
1. Enter the Admin Mode by holding
+ 0 for ve seconds; With RED LED blinking, enter the
Admin PIN and press the button. The BLUE LED will glow steadily.
2. Press the
+ 1 buttons together until the BLUE LED glows steadily and the GREEN
LED starts blinking.
3. Enter the User PIN* and press
. The GREEN LED will blink three times by itself, then
the BLUE LED will glow steadily as the GREEN LED continues blinking.
4. Enter that same User PIN again and press
to verify. The GREEN LED will glow
steadily for three seconds verifying that the User PIN was successfully added, and
then will be replaced by the BLUE LED glowing steadily, indicating that the drive has
returned to the Admin mode.
B.) USER-GENERATED USER PIN (USER FORCED ENROLLMENT)
Note: User Forced Enrollment state can only be implemented where there is no
Admin-generated User PINs set up as described in the process above.
User Forced Enrollment Security Warning:
When a drive is in the User Forced Enrollment state, it is essentially unlocked until a User
PIN is established. Therefore, DO NOT load sensitive data onto the drive if User Forced
Enrollment is to be implemented.
1. Enter the Admin Mode by holding
+ 0 for ve seconds; With RED LED blinking, enter the
Admin PIN and press the button. The BLUE LED will glow steadily.
2. Press 0 + 1 and the GREEN LED will blink three times, then will be replaced by BLUE
LED glowing steadily. Press the CANCEL button to return the drive to its locked state. The
drive is now in User Forced Enrollment State, allowing the rst User to establish his own
User PIN.
USER-GENERATED USER PIN IN FORCED ENROLLMENT STATE
1. Press
and ensure that the BLUE and the GREEN LEDs are glowing steadily.
2. Press
+ 1 and ensure that the BLUE LED continues glowing steadily while the
GREEN LED blinks. Enter the new User PIN and press the button. The GREEN LED
will blink three times by itself and then will be joined by the BLUE LED glowing steadily.
3. Within 30 seconds, enter that same User PIN once more, and press the
button again.
This time, the GREEN LED will glow steadily for a few seconds, then the drive will return
to its locked state, indicated by the RED LED glowing steadily. The drive’s data can now
be accessed using either a User PIN or the Admin PIN.
* Note: Default setting for minimum PIN length is 6 characters,
and a maximum of 16.
Changing the Admin PIN
Changes to the Admin PIN can only be made while the drive is in the Admin mode.
1. Enter the Admin mode. (Hold
+ 0 for ve seconds – with the RED LED blinking, enter

2. Press UNLOCK + 9. The BLUE LED will glow steadily and the GREEN LED will blink.
3. Enter the new Admin PIN and press the
button. The GREEN LED will blink
three times.
4. Re-enter the new Admin PIN and press the
button. The GREEN LED will glow steadily
for two seconds and then return to the Admin mode, indicated by the BLUE LED glowing
steadily.
Deleting the User PIN
You can delete the User PIN by doing the following:
1. Enter the Admin mode. (Hold
+ 0 for ve seconds. With the RED LED blinking, enter the
Admin PIN and press the button.) The BLUE LED will now glow steadily.
2. Press the 7 + 8 buttons together for ve seconds. The GREEN LED will blink three times and
then will be followed by the RED and BLUE LEDs blinking alternately.

PINs (if any have been set.)
