18. Completely resetting the diskAshur
If you forget all the User PINs or Admin PINs, you can perform a complete reset to remove all the User
PINs, and restore the Admin PIN to the default 123456.
Attention: Completely resetting the diskAshur will reset the encryption key, in effect making all the data on
the drive unrecoverable. You will need to partition and format the diskAshur with disk management
applications. To perform a complete reset of the drive, do the following:
1. Press and hold the “Cancel” button while you attach the diskAshur to an
available USB port on your computer. The LED indicator light will flash BLUE and
RED alternately.
Note: If no activity is detected for 30 seconds during this step, the diskAshur
will go into the Standby Mode.
2. Press and hold “Cancel” + + 2 for 10 seconds until the LED indicator light
flashes RED and BLUE intermittently, and then stops on a solid color. The
LED indicator light will then turn solid GREEN for two seconds, followed by solid
RED. You have successfully reset the diskAshur.
19. Initializing and formatting the diskAshur after a complete reset
A complete reset of the diskAshur will erase all information and partition settings.
You will need to initialize and format the diskAshur.
To initialize your diskAshur, do the following:
1. After a complete reset, attach the diskAshur to the computer.
2. Wait 5 seconds for the computer to recognize the device.
