2.3 Unlocking the Security Partition
Note:
You must complete the Setup Wizard before you can log into KDMElite. If you have not already
completed the Setup Wizard, please refer to section
2.2
The Setup Wizard
on page 13
for more information
on completing the Setup Wizard.
Anytime you run KDMElite, you will be asked to login using your security password. You need to
provide the correct security password in order to access the Defender Elite’s secure partition.
When the login screen appears:
1. Enter your password in the
Password
field.
2. Click on the
Login
button.
Once you have successfully logged in to KDMElite, the Defender Elite’s secure partition will be
accessible through My Computer or Windows Explorer. For more information on accessing the secure
partition, see
section 2.5
Encrypting Files and Folders
on page 22
.
To cancel the login process, click on the
Cancel
button. Unplugging and then reinserting your Defender
Elite or manually running KDMElite.exe will bring the login window back.
Note:
You can use the virtual keyboard when entering your password to prevent any key logging
applications from recording your key strokes. For more information on the virtual keyboard, see section
2.4
Using the Virtual Keyboard to Enter Your Password
on page 21.
Caution!
If you enter your password incorrectly seven times in a row (seven is the default setting, 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.
Caution!
Once KDMElite has started, you should never disconnect your device without first closing
KDMElite properly by clicking the KDMElite task bar icon and selecting
Unmount Kanguru Defender
as described in
section 2.12
Unmounting Your Defender Elite
