Setting Up Your Rugged Safe
User Manual

4.1. Step 1: Registering the First User
User Information
LaCie Safe Manager will launch automatically when your Rugged
Safe is attached to your computer. Before moving forward, check
that your drive is selected in the column on the left (
Fig. 22
).
IMPORTANT INFO:
If your Rugged Safe drive does not appear
in the left-hand column, please check to see if it has been properly
connected. Refer to section
3. Connecting Your LaCie Rugged Safe
for additional information.
Upon initial launch, follow the Wizard prompts:
1. Choose
Next.
2. Enter a login name and a password (
Fig. 23
). You may enter
letters (no accents and case sensitive) and numbers. For greater
security, do not use a password that has relevance or familiarity
with a large group as it may increase your security risk. To aid
with the password selection, please note the password strength
bar. (

Next
and proceed to section
4.2. Step 2: Registering
the First User’s Fingerprint
.
IMPORTANT INFO:
The first user registered becomes an admin-
istrator by default. Any user added later can be given administrative
privileges. Similarly, the default administrator may have his rights
adjusted to that of a standard user. Since it is close to impossible for
one person to be available all the time, LaCie highly recommends
two administrators for the Rugged Safe.
