Recycling a device
Recycling a device returns it to a default state by deleting all users and authentication
mechanisms. All data and security keys are unrecoverable. The Administrator or any
user who knows the device management code can recycle a device. The management
code option is available if a device has been upgraded from a previous version of
Encrypted USB or if the Administrator account is blocked. You must personalize the
device after you recycle it. For more information, see “Personalizing a device” on page
6.
To recycle a device
1 On the main page of Encrypted USB, under Device Management, click Recycle
Device.
2 If the Administrator is not the current user, type the Administrator password in the
Password box and click Next.
Encrypted USB automatically recycles the device.
3 If you want to recycle the device using the management code, under Quick Links,
click Recycle using the management code, and then type the code in the Man-
agement Code box.
