2 Enter a name for the token in the

Token N a me

field. If no name is entered, the default name,

Token

, is applied.

3 Select Set Token Password to initialize the token with a token password. Otherwise, the token

is initialized without a token password, and it will not be usable for SafeNet (eToken) applications.

4 If Set Token Password is selected, enter a new token password in the

Set Token Password

and

Confirm

fields.

5 To initialize an administrator password, select Set Administrator Password and enter a

password in the

Set Administrator Password

and

Confirm fields

. (Minimum password length is 4

characters.)

6 In the

Logon retries before token is locked

field, enter a value between 1 and 15. This counter

specifies the number of times the user or administrator can attempt to log on to the token with an

incorrect password before the token is locked. The default number of incorrect logon attempts is

15.

NOTE The default password for a new token is 1234567890. If the user uses the default password during

initialization, and default password quality requirements are used, the user must select the Token Password

must be changed at first logon option. Otherwise the initialization will fail, as the default password will not

meet default password quality requirements (See Setting Password Quality on page 99). If the Token

Password must be changed at first logon field is selected, the initialization will succeed and the user will be

prompted to set a new token password when next logging on with the token. The user will then be required

to set a password meeting password quality requirements, as configured in the settings window. See

Setting

PasswordQualityonpage 96.

NOTE The user cannot set the Administrator Password for SafeNet iKey 2032 or SafeNet iKey 4000.
