24. How to Unlock with the Self-Destruct PIN
When used, the self-destruct PIN will delete ALL data, Admin/User PINs and then unlock the drive. Activating this feature will
cause the Self-Destruct PIN to become the New User PIN and the diskAshur M
2
will need to be formatted before any new data can
be added to the drive.
To activate the Self-Destruct mechanism, the drive needs to be in the standby state (solid RED LED) and then proceed with the following
steps.
Warning: When the Self-Destruct mechanism is activated, all data, the encryption key and the Admin/User PINs are
deleted. The Self-Destruct PIN becomes the User PIN. No Admin PIN exists after the Self-Destruct mechanism is
activated. The diskAshur M
2
will need to be reset (see ‘How to perform a complete reset’ Section 34, on page 25) first in
order to configure an Admin PIN with full Admin privileges including the ability to configure a new User PIN.
Note: 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.
