4. How to change the User PIN
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)
• Drive must NOT be connected to a host
Note: If a mistake was made while dening a new PIN or the procedure was aborted,
the drive will retain the old PIN.

All cryptographic parameters (including User PIN and Admin PIN) are zeroed after hacking detection
has been triggered by 10 consecutive failed attempts to unlock, or when the drive has been manually
reset (see section No. 12)
This state is evident by a solid lit RED LED indicator. It will be necessary to set a New User PIN by
following these instructions.
Once the User PIN has been dened, a new encryption key is generated using the on-board random
number generator.
