Reformatting my device
Reformatting the Secure Files drive will erase all your secure files and your Application List, but
it will not erase your device password and settings.
1.
Unlock your device and click the ―Settings‖ button in the menu bar.
2.
Click the ―Reformat Secure Volume‖ button.
TIP:
Back up your data prior to reformatting; otherwise, it will be erased.
Using my device on Linux
You can use your IronKey Enterprise device on several distributions of Linux (x86 systems
only with kernel version 2.6+). However, you must set up the device using a Windows or Mac
operating system. Some policies set by the administrator may restrict use of the product to
systems running only Windows and Mac.
USING THE UNLOCKER
Use the Unlocker for Linux to access your files and change your device password on Linux,
allowing you to securely transfer files from and between Windows, Mac, and Linux computers.
Depending on your Linux distribution, you might need root privileges to use the program
―ironkey‖ found in the Linux folder of the mounted virtual DVD. If you have only one IronKey
Enterprise device attached to the system, run the program from a command shell with no
arguments (e.g. ironkey). If you have multiple IronKey Enterprise devices, you must specify
which one you want to unlock.
NOTE:
ironkey only unlocks the secure volume; it must then be mounted. Many modern Linux
distributions do this automatically; if not, run the mount program from the command line, using
the device name printed by ironkey.
To unlock the device in Read-Only Mode, enter:
ironkey --readonly
When prompted, type your password.
To unlock the device, enter:
ironkey --unlock
When prompted, type your password.
To lock the device, you must either unmount and physically remove (unplug) it, or else run:
ironkey --lock
Simply unmounting the device does not automatically lock the secure volume.
To lock the device named “devicename,” enter:
ironkey --lock [devicename]
