UNLOCKING THE DEVICE
Once you enter the correct password, the device will mount the secure volume with all your secure
applications and files. If you enter an incorrect password 10 consecutive times, the device will be reset and all
onboard data will be erased.
Unlocking in Read-Only Mode
Unlocking your device in a read-only state prevents files from being modified or infected with malware, for
example, when using the device on an untrusted computer. In Read-Only Mode you cannot add, modify or
erase files on the device, this includes reformatting the device and restoring applications or editing the
Applications List. For devices managed by IronKey EMS, a System Admin can also force your device to unlock
in a read-only state.
