ACCESSING MY SECURE FILES
After unlocking the device, you can access your secure files. Since the device has a built-in Cryptochip, files are
automatically encrypted and decrypted “on-the-fly” when you save or open a file on the drive. This technology
gives you the convenience of working as you normally would with a regular flash drive, while providing strong,
“always-on” security.
This check box will only appear if your
administrator has enabled Password
Reset for your device. Password Reset
allows you to reset your password if
you forget the code at device login.
