2.4 Unlocking the Security Partition
Anytime you run KDM2000, you will be asked to login using your security password. You need to
provide the correct security password in order to access the Defender 2000’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 six times in a row (six is the default setting, this may
be different 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 2000 or manually running KDM2000.exe will bring the login window
back.
Once you have successfully logged in to KDM2000, the Defender 2000’s secure partition will be
accessible through My Computer or Windows Explorer. For more information on accessing the secure
partition, see
section 2.6
Encrypting Files and Folders
on page 23
.
Caution!
Once KDM2000 has started, you should never disconnect your device without first closing
KDM2000 properly by clicking the KDM2000 task bar icon and selecting
Unmount Kanguru Defender
as described in
section 2.13
Unmounting Your Defender 2000
on page 32
.
Note:
If your Defender 2000 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.
