12. How to RESET the drive
In the event both Admin and User PIN have been forgotten, or user wants to delete all stored data,
please follow the instructions below:
The reset process will clear all cryptographic parameters including both User and Admin PIN.
In addition, the write protect feature will be reset so the drive becomes writable again.
Defining a new PIN (either User or Admin) from the reset state will cause the datAshur Personal ® to
invoke the random number generator to create a new encryption key.
Once a new
PIN is defined, the drive will become busy running self-tests and generating a new
random encryption key.
This phase is evident by both the
RED and GREEN LEDS intensifying in brightness.
The
GREEN LED will blink when the drive is ready for use.
13. Configuring the drive with Windows OS after a complete reset
In the event that hacking detection has been triggered by entering the incorrect PIN 10 times in
succession or the drive has been reset, all data on the drive will be lost forever.
Once a new User PIN has been created, the datAshur Personal ® drive will need to be initialised and
formatted.
To initialise your
datAshur Personal ® drive, do the following:
1. Create a new User PIN (see section 5 above) in the iStorage datAshur Personal ® Manual
2. Unlock the datAshur Personal ® drive by entering the New User PIN and connect to a computer’s
USB port.
Action continued overleaf.
