Privaris plusID Manager Operators Manual V1.0
Page 37 of 54 07.20.07
This option changes the Personal Identification Number (PIN) that the device’s
user defined, and is required in addition to the plusID device for logging onto their
computer, and reverts it back to the system default of 1234.
Reset User Application Data (different from erase?)
This option erases all third party software information that has been stored on the
device, for example the minidriver that may be resident to enable computer logon.
This command does not erase user data from applications that are not registered
with the plusID Manager.
Reset to Factory Defaults (button in bottom left of screen)
Selecting the “Reset to Factory Defaults” option will destroy all access
credentials, fingerprint templates, and reset both PINS (Administrative and User)
and revert the device to its original factory–default state. This is the only function
that eliminates all user data stored on the device.
This operation will erase all access credentials from the device. If the credentials
exist in the plusID Manager’s database, they can be reloaded to the same device.
If there is no backup, the credential is permanently lost.
10. PINs
The PIN Management Screen enables the Administrator and User PIN to be
changed and for the User PIN (only) to be reset.
a. Changing the Administrator PIN
The Administrator PIN can be changed, but it cannot be reset if lost or forgotten.
! Once set, it strongly recommended that the Administrator PIN not be
changed without a compelling reason.
Creation of more than one PIN will
result in a population of devices with different PINs and significantly increases
the odds of being locked out of a device(s). There is no way to determine what
PIN is on a device other than by trial and error (with a limited number of
attempts).
To change the Administrator PIN:
1. Select “PINs” from the main menu tree. The PIN Management screen will
be displayed.
2. Select the “Administrator” tab at the top of the dialog box
3. Enter the default Administrator PIN in the Current PIN field: 4321.
! The factory default Administrator PIN for all new plusID devices is 4321
4. Enter the organization’s new Administrator PIN twice, in the indicated
fields. The PIN
can be from four to eight letters, numbers and/or
characters in length.
5. Select “Change PIN.”
