The User Recovery PIN is extremely useful in situations where a user has forgotten their PIN to unlock the datAshur SD.
To activate the recovery mode, the user must first enter the correct One-Time Recovery PIN, if one has been configured. The
user PIN recovery process does not impact the data, encryption key and Admin PIN, however the user is forced to configure a
new 8-64 digit User PIN.
To configure a One-Time 8-64 digit User Recovery PIN, first enter the Admin Mode as described in section 5. Once the
drive is in Admin Mode (solid BLUE LED) proceed with the following steps.
Note: When the datAshur SD is in Admin Mode, the BLUE LED will remain on and solid for 30 seconds only,
during which time the drive can accept instructions via the keypad allowing it to be configured with a host of security
features. If no key event happens within 30 seconds, the datAshur SD will exit Admin Mode automatically - the solid
BLUE LED switches to a solid RED LED which then fades out to the Idle State (all LEDs off).
To immediately exit Admin Mode (solid BLUE LED), press and hold down the SHIFT ( ) button for a second - the
solid BLUE LED switches to a solid RED LED which then fades out to the Idle State. To access the drive contents
(data), the datAshur SD must first be in the Idle State (all LEDs off) before an Admin/User PIN can be entered.
