All cryptographic parameters (including
User PIN and Admin PIN) are zeroed after hacking detection
has been triggered by 10 consecutive failed attempts to unlock, or when the drive has been manually
reset (see section No. 12)
This state is evident by a solid lit
RED
LED indicator. It will be necessary to set a New User PIN by
following these instructions.
Once the
User PIN has been defined, a new encryption key is generated using the on-board random
number generator.
