SECTION 2: User Mode
This section describes how to unlock and lock the Drive, change the PIN, and disconnecting the Drive from
your computer in User Mode. New drives are shipped with a default User PIN which is 11223344
(otherwise, your vendor will supply it). We strongly recommend changing the password once it is unlocked.
CAUTION: Risk of loss of data. If you forget your User PIN and no Admin PIN exists, or you
forget both PINs, all data will be inaccessible and reformatting will be required.
CAUTION: Loss of data will occur. After ten failed attempts to unlock the Drive, the User PIN
and all data on the Drive will be deleted. Refer to Brute Force Hacking Detection on page 14.
