The Admin has the ability to set Recovery PINs that will allow a User to access data on the
Secure Key in the event of a forgotten PIN by creating a new state of User Forced Enrollment
in which a new User PIN can be established without wiping any data off of the drive. The
Admin can establish up to four single-use Recovery PINs; once a Recovery PIN has been
used to access the Secure Key, it will no longer be available for future recovery efforts.
NOTE: The Recovery PIN will not unlock the device, but will place the Secure Key into a User
Forced Enrollment state, where the User can then establish a new User PIN which will then
grant access the Key’s data.
1. Enter the Admin mode. (Hold
+ 0 for ve seconds. With the RED LED blinking, enter the
Admin PIN and press the button.) The BLUE LED will now glow solidly.
2. Press the
+ 8 buttons together. The GREEN LED will blink three times by itself, and then will
be joined by a solid BLUE LED.
3. Enter the Recovery PIN and press the
button. If PIN is accepted, the GREEN LED will blink
three times.
4. Repeat by entering that same Recovery PIN and pressing the
button again. If PIN is
accepted for the nal time, the GREEN LED will blink three times and the Secure Key will then
return to the Admin mode indicated by a solid BLUE LED.
5. To add more Recovery PINs, repeat steps 2-4. When nished, press the
button to return Key
to its Standby mode.
Deploying a Recovery PIN will put the Secure Key into a state of User Forced
Enrollment and that recovery PIN will no longer be useable. Additionally, once in a state
of User Forced Enrollment, the previous User PIN will no longer be recognized as a
valid PIN for drive authentication and a new User PIN must be created.
1. With the Secure Key in Standby mode, press and hold the
+ 7 buttons together for ve
seconds and release once the RED LED starts blinking.
2. Enter a recovery PIN (from Admin) and press the
button. The GREEN LED will blink three
times by itself, and then will be joined by a solid BLUE LED indicating the Key is in User
Forced Enrollment mode.
3. Enter a new User PIN and press the
button. The GREEN LED will blink three times if
accepted.
4. Re-enter that same new User PIN and press the
button again to verify it. If accepted, the
GREEN LED will blink three times and then the Secure Key will return to its Standby state,
indicated by the RED LED glowing steadily. The Secure Key will now be accessible using this
new User PIN.
