Tip: You can create a memorable word, name, phrase or any other Alphanumerical PIN
combination by simply pressing the key with the corresponding letters on it.
Examples of these types of Alphanumerical PINs are:
• For "Password" you would press the following keys:
7 (pqrs) 2 (abc) 7 (pqrs) 7 (pqrs) 9 (wxyz) 6 (mno) 7 (pqrs) 3 (def)
• For "IronKey1" you would press:
4 (ghi) 7 (pqrs) 6 (mno) 6 (mno) 5 (jkl) 3 (def) 9 (wxyx) and then 1
Using this method, long and easy to remember PINs can be created.
