2.3 Logging into KDMV2

Anytime you run KDMV2, you will be asked to login using your security password. You need to provide

the correct security password in order to access the Defender V2’s secure partition.

When the login screen appears:

1. Enter your password in the Password field.

2. Click on the Login button.

Caution! If you enter your password incorrectly seven times in a row (seven times is the default setting;

actual number of attempts may vary depending on your setup), for security purposes, any data stored on

the secure partition will automatically be erased. You will be issued an on screen warning when you have

one attempt remaining, to prevent accidental erasure. To cancel the login process, click on the Cancel

button. Unplugging and then reinserting your Defender V2 or manually running KDMv2.exe will bring

the login window back.

Once you have successfully logged in to KDMV2, the Defender’s secure partition will be accessible

through My Computer or Windows Explorer. For more information on accessing the secure partition, see

section 2.4 Encrypting Files and Folders on page 19.

Caution! Once KDMV2 has started, you should never disconnect your device without first closing

KDMV2 properly by clicking the KDMV2 taskbar icon and selecting Unmount Kanguru Defender as

described in section 2.10 Unmounting Your Defender V2 on page 28.

Note: If your Defender V2 drive is being managed by KRMC, you may see an Autorun checkbox.

This means that your administrator has configured your drive to auto-execute a file saved on your

drive’s secure partition every time you successfully login. You can disable the Autorun functionality by

unchecking this box.
