Note: The Aegis Padlock DT cannot be recognized by the operating system in the
Admin Mode.
To enter the Admin Mode, do the following:
1.

Aegis Padlock DT ON. The Aegis Padlock DT goes into the Standby Mode,
and the LOCK indicator light turns RED.
2.
Press and hold + 0 for five seconds until the LOCK indicator light flashes
RED. This indicates that you can enter the Admin Password.
3.
Enter the Admin Password and press . The default Admin Password is
123456
. The drive is in Admin Mode when the ADMIN (A) indicator light has
changed to BLUE.
Note: If the LOCK indicator light flashes RED for a few seconds, indicating
the Aegis Padlock DT has returned to the Standby Mode, go back to Step 2.
This is due to one of the following conditions:
•
You entered an incorrect Admin Password in Step 3.
•
No activity was detected within 10 seconds in the Admin Mode.
Exiting the Admin Mode
To exit the User Mode, press the
“Cancel”
button on the Aegis Padlock DT keypad.
If there is no activity for 5 seconds the drive will lock and go into Standby mode.
Alternately, you can turn your Aegis Padlock DT OFF at the power switch on
the back of the unit. Once you turn the Aegis Padlock DT ON again, the LOCK
indicator light will be RED, indicating that you are in the Standby Mode.
