17. Completely resetting the diskAshur DT
If you forget all the User PINs or Admin PIN, you can perform a complete reset to remove all the User
PIN, and restore the Admin PIN to the default 123456.
Attention: Completely resetting the diskAshur DT will reset the encryption key, in effect making all
the data on the drive unrecoverable. You will need to partition and format the diskAshur DT with disk
management applications.
To perform a complete reset of the drive, do the following:
1. Connect the diskAshur DT to an available USB port. Turn on the power
switch on the back of the drive while holding the “Cancel” button.
The LED indicator lights will flash BLUE and RED alternately
Note: If no activity is detected for 30 seconds in this step, the diskAshur DT
will go into the Standby Mode.
2. Press and hold “Cancel” + + 2 for 10 seconds until the LED indicator
lights flash RED and BLUE intermittently, and then stop on a solid color. The
LED indicator light will then turn solid GREEN for two seconds, followed by the
LED indicator light turning solid RED. You have successfully reset the
diskAshur DT.
18. Initializing and formatting the diskAshur DT after a complete reset
A complete reset of the diskAshur DT will erase all information and partition settings. You will need to initialize and format
