The IronKey Unlocker allows you to securely access your files on multiple operating systems. It
prompts you for your password, securely validates it, and then mounts your secure volume where
all of your files are stored on the IronKey.

by double-clicking the IronKey Unlocker drive in “My
Computer” and double-clicking the “IronKey.exe” file.
Entering your password correctly will mount your
secure volume with all your secure applications and
files.
Entering the wrong password too many times will
permanently erase all of your data. After every three
attempts, you must unplug and reinsert the IronKey.
