Setting One-Time-Use Recovery PINs
Using a One-Time-Use Recovery PIN
Gives the Admin the ability to set Recovery PINs that will allow a User to access data on the
Padlock DT in the event of a forgotten PIN by creating a new state of User Forced Enrollment
in which a new User PIN can be established without wiping any data off of the drive. The
Admin can establish up to four one-time-use Recovery PINs. Once a Recovery PIN has
been used to access the drive, it will no longer be available. NOTE: The Recovery PIN will not
unlock the device, but will place the drive into a User Forced Enrollment state, where the User
can then establish a new User PIN and then access the drive’s data.
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
+ 8 buttons. The GREEN LED will blink three times by itself, and then will be
joined by a steady BLUE LED.
3. Enter the Recovery PIN and press the
button. If PIN is accepted, the GREEN LED will blink
three times.
4. Repeat by entering that same Recovery PIN and pressing the
button again. If PIN is
accepted for the nal time, the GREEN LED will blink three times and the Padlock DT will then
return to the Admin mode indicated by a steady BLUE LED.
5. To add more Recovery PINs, repeat steps 2-4. When nished, press the CANCEL button to
return drive to its Standby mode.
Remember that using a Recovery PIN to set the Padlock DT into User Forced Enrollment
renders that Recovery PIN spent / unavailable for future use.
1. With the drive in Standby mode, press and hold the
+ 7 buttons together for ve seconds
and release once the RED LED starts blinking.
2. Enter a recovery PIN (from Admin) and press the
button. The GREEN LED will blink three
times by itself, and then will be joined by a steady BLUE LED indicating the drive is in User
Forced Enrollment mode.
3. Enter a new User PIN and press the
button. The GREEN LED will blink three times if
accepted.
4. Re-enter that same new User PIN and press the
button again to verify it. If accepted, the
GREEN LED will blink three times and then the Padlock DT will return to its Standby state,
indicated by the RED LED glowing steadily. The contents of this drive will now be accessible
using this new User PIN.
Setting Read-Only or Read / Write
modes from Admin Mode
With a large number of viruses and Trojans that attach themselves to USB devices, this
feature is especially useful if you need to access data on the drive when used in a public
setting. Additionally, Read-Only is an important feature for forensic applications, where data
must be preserved in its original, unaltered state and can’t be overwritten or modied.
The Admin can set the drive to a Read-Only mode for both the Admin and the Users. When
set by the Admin, the Admin is the only one that can change the drive back to Read / Write
mode.
When the drive is unlocked in Read-Only mode, the GREEN LED will glow steadily and the
RED LED will blink once every three seconds.
To set the Drive to Read-Only:
1. Enter the Admin mode. (Hold + 0 for ve seconds – with RED LED blinking, enter the
Admin PIN and press the button.) The BLUE LED will glow steadily.
2. Press and hold the r + o (7 + 6) buttons together for three seconds.
The GREEN LED will blink three times.
3. The drive will return to Admin mode. The BLUE LED will glow steadily.
4. Until changed, the drive can only be read.
To return the Drive to Read / Write:
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 glow steadily.
2. Press and hold the r + w (7+ 9) buttons together; the GREEN LED will blink three times.
3. The drive will return to Admin mode, indicated by the BLUE LED glowing steadily and the
drive restored to its normal Read / Write condition.
Important Note
Setting the drive to Read/Write from the Admin mode will globally override a
Read-Only mode that has been set by a User.
