We recommend resetting your user PIN to secure the data on your drive. The drive will stay unlocked and your data
will not be protected until a user PIN is created.
Hacking Detection
After 5 unsuccessful User PIN entry attempts, your Flash Padlock 2 will be disabled for 2 minutes. The red LED will
start blinking rapidly and continue doing so for 2 minutes to indicate the unit has been locked. User PIN entry will not
be allowed at this state. Also, keep in mind that clearing your user PIN with master PIN (if set) in that 2 minute time
window is also disabled.
After 2 minutes, you can attempt to unlock your Flash Padlock 2. After another 5 more unsuccessful User PIN entries
(now 10 total) the drive will be disabled for 12 hours. The red LED will start blinking rapidly for 30 seconds and then
your Flash Padlock 2 will enter sleep state. At that point pressing KEY button will again cause red LED to start
blinking rapidly for 30 seconds followed by entering sleep state to indicate the drive has been locked. Any
subsequent attempt to press KEY button will before 12 hours is elapsed will repeat above sequence.
After 12 hours, you can attempt to unlock your Flash Padlock 2. After another 5 more unsuccessful User PIN entries
(now 15 total) the drive will be disabled for 2 minutes. The red LED will start blinking rapidly and continue doing so for
2 minutes to indicate the unit has been locked.
After 2 minutes, you can attempt to unlock your Flash Padlock 2. After another 5 more unsuccessful User PIN entries
(now 20 total) the User PIN and Master PIN will be cleared. Your Flash Padlock 2 will now be unlocked and all data
will be permanently lost.
