Note: Unless otherwise noted, all INSTRUCTION steps are performed when datAshur is
not connected to a computer.
The datAshur is shipped with a default User PIN of 1-1-2-2-3-3-4-4 and
although it can be used straight out of the box with the default PIN, for security reasons,
we highly recommend that a new User PIN be created immediately by following
instructions under heading 2 “How to change User PIN”.
2. How to change User PIN
If you forget your User PIN and no Admin PIN exists, or you forget both PINs, all data will
be inaccessible.
PIN requirements:
 Must be between 7-15 digits in length
 Must not contain repeating numbers/letters, e.g., (3-3-3-3-3-3-3)
 Must not contain sequential numbers/letters, e.g., (1-2-3-4-5-6-7), (7-8-9-0-1-2-3-4-5-6),
(7-6-5-4-3-2-1)
Note: If a mistake was made while defining a new PIN or the procedure was not completed, the drive
will retain the old PIN.
