Admin Features
Using Crypto-Erase Password
When the Crypto-Erase password is used, the previous Admin and User passwords will be deleted, and the Crypto-
Erase password will take its place. Additionally, any previous configuration settings will be deleted along with
permanently deleting all data stored on the drive and will convert the drive to a User-Only mode configuration.
To use the Crypto-Erase Password:
1. Launch IronKey.exe to run the IronKey
application
2. On the User Password login screen, press
'CTRL + ALT
+C' to toggle the Crypto-
Erase Password entry. If done correctly,
a thicker blue bar will be noticeable
under the password entry Screen
indicating the Crypto-Erase password is
ready for entry. (Figure 8.11)
NOTE: Crypto-Erase password can only be
toggled on the User Password login screen.
Once the Crypto-Erase password is used, the
drive will now proceed to erase the drive of
all contents and a single empty partition will
now appear. The drive will now be in a User-
Only mode state and the Crypto-Erase
password will be the password used to login
to the drive until it is reset.
Important:
this feature will erase all data on
the drive and anything previously stored will
be lost forever, proceed with caution.
