To perform a complete reset, the diskAshur DT
2
must be in a standby state (solid RED LED). Once the drive is reset then all
Admin/User PINs, the encryption key and all data will be deleted and lost forever and the drive will need to be formatted and
partitioned before it can be reused.
To reset the diskAshur DT
2
proceed with the following steps.
25. How to perform a complete reset
1. In standby state, press and hold down “0” button
until all LEDs blink alternately on and off
Solid RED LED will change to all LEDs, RED,
GREEN and BLUE blinking alternately on and
off
2. Press and hold down “2 + 7” buttons until all LEDs
become solid for a second and then to a solid RED LED
RED, GREEN and BLUE alternating LEDs will
change to all solid for a second and then to a
solid RED LED indicating the drive has been
reset
If an incorrect PIN is entered 15 (3 x 5 PIN clusters) consecutive times, then all Admin/User PINs, the encryption key and all
data will be deleted and lost forever. The diskAshur DT
2
will then need to be formatted and partitioned before it can be
reused.
1. If a PIN is entered incorrectly 5 (five) consecutive times, all LEDs - RED, GREEN, BLUE will light up and become solid.
2. Switch the ON/OFF power button OFF and then back ON again to get five more PIN attempts. If PIN is incorrectly
entered 5 more times, (10 in total - 5 from step 1 and 5 from step 2) all LEDs - RED, GREEN, BLUE will light up and become
solid again.
3. Switch the ON/OFF power button OFF, then hold down the “SHIFT” button while switching the power back ON again,
all LEDs - RED, GREEN, BLUE will light up and blink together.
4. With all LEDs blinking, enter “47867243” and press the “UNLOCK” button to get 5 final attempts.
24. Brute Force Protection
Important: After a complete reset a new Admin PIN must be created, refer to Section 17 on page 13 on ‘How to
Create an Admin PIN after a Brute Force attack or Reset’, the diskAshur DT
2
will also need to be
partitioned and formatted before any new data can be added to the drive.
Caution: After 15 consecutive incorrect PIN entries the Brute Force Defence Mechanism activates and deletes
all Admin/User PINs, the encryption key and data. A new Admin PIN must be created, refer to Section
17 on page 13 on ‘How to Create an Admin PIN after a Brute Force attack or Reset’, the diskAshur DT
2
will also need to be partitioned and formatted before any new data can be added to the drive.
