Setting a Self Destruct Password
The diskAshur has the ability to set a password that will reset the encryption key
if needed. By resetting the encryption key all data on the drive will be lost and
cannot be recovered.
After initiating the Self Destruct sequence, the PIN used to initiate the self
destruct sequence will become the default Admin password. The drive
will need to be initialized and reformatted. For directions see page 15.
To set a Self Destruct password please use the following steps:
Enter the Admin mode by pressing and holding + 0 for ve seconds until
1.
the indicator light ashes RED. This indicates that you can enter the Admin
Password.
Enter the Admin Password and press . The drive is in Admin Mode when the 2.
indicator light has changed to BLUE.
Once in Admin mode, press + 3. The indicator light should start ashing 3.
RED and BLUE intermittently.
Input in the PIN that you would like to use as the Self Destruct password and 4.
press .
The diskAshur will then check against known PINs to make sure that it is not 5.
already in use. If in use the indicator light will ash RED 3 times and the drive
will go into Standby mode. If this happens please re-enter the Admin mode
(step 1) and repeat the process with a new code.
If the Self Destruct password is accepted the indicator light ashes GREEN 6.
three times.
Immediately re-enter the new PIN and press . If the indicator light stays 7.
solid GREEN for two seconds and then goes to solid BLUE, the Self Destruct
PIN was added successfully.
To delete the Self Destruct password, you will need to delete all of the User 8.
Passwords. Please refer to the instructions on page 11 - Deleting User Passwords.
Note: The PIN must be a minimum of 6 digits in the length (16 max) and
cannot match any Admin or User codes already used by the drive.
In the future, a User or Admin code can not be set to the same number
as used by the Self Destruct password.
