To change the Admin 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.
Examples of these types of Alphanumerical PINs are:
• For “Password” press the following buttons:
7 (pqrs) 2 (abc) 7 (pqrs) 7 (pqrs) 9 (wxyz) 6 (mno) 7 (pqrs) 3 (def)
• For “iStorage” press the following buttons:
4 (ghi) 7 (pqrs) 8 (tuv) 6 (mno) 7 (pqrs) 2 (abc) 4 (ghi) 3 (def)
Using this method, long and easy to remember PINs can be configured.
Password Tip: You can configure a memorable word, name, phrase or any other Alphanumerical PIN combination
by simply pressing the button with the corresponding letters on it.
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.
Special Characters:
• The Admin PIN can be configured with the use of one or more ‘Special Characters’ (SHIFT ( ) + digit pressed
down together), this can be placed once or several times anywhere along your 8-64 digit Admin PIN.
