 11.   How to create an Admin PIN

An Admin PIN is a useful feature for corporate deployment, for example:

•     Recovering data from a drive and configuring a new User PIN in the event an employee has forgotten their PIN
•     Retrieving data from a drive if an employee leaves the company
•     Setting policies such as ‘Read-Only’
•     The Admin PIN can be used to override all User settings

PIN requirements: 

•     Must be between 7-15 digits in length
•     Must not contain only repetitive numbers, e.g. (3-3-3-3-3-3-3) 
•     Must not contain only consecutive numbers, e.g. (1-2-3-4-5-6-7), (7-8-9-0-1-2-3-4), (7-6-5-4-3-2-1)
