Device Lockout
th
Important:
After a 10
and final failed login attempt, depending on how the device was set up and Login method
used, (Admin, User or One-Time Recovery Password) The device will either Lock down, requiring you to login with an
alternate method (If applicable), or a Device Reset which will format the data and all data on the drive will be lost
forever. Behaviors also mentioned on page 18 of this User Guide.
Figures 10.3- 10.6 below demonstrate the visual behavior for the 10
method:

These security measures limit someone (who does
not have your password) from attempting
countless login attempts and gaining access to
your sensitive data (Also known as a Brute-Force
attack). If you are the owner of the LP50 and have
forgotten your password, the same security
measures will be enforced, including a device
format. * For more on this feature, see 'Reset
Device' on page 25.
*Note: A device format will erase ALL of the information stored on the LP50's secure data partition.
