10. How to Reset the datAshur
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. This means a new User PIN
will have to be defined in order to re-enable the drive. Also, since this will force the creation of a new encryption key, the
datAshur will have to be reformatted (see section 11 or 12).
Caution: Resetting the datAshur will make all data on the drive inaccessible forever.

11. How to configure the datAshur with Windows OS
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 will need to be initialised and formatted.
To initialise your datAshur, do the following:
1. Create a New User PIN (see section 4).
2. Unlock the datAshur by entering the New User PIN and connect to a computer’s USB port.
