3. Enter a Pass Phrase of 24 characters total in 3 blocks of 8 characters each. You must confirm the Pass Phrase.
Tech Note:
You can use any character for the Pass Phrase. The Pass Phrase is needed to access to the
configuration tool. Since the Pass Phrase determines the encryption key for your LaCie SAFE drive, this
pass phrase is very confidential.
Important Info:
We recommend that you choose a Pass Phrase that you can easily remember since you will need
it to access the Configuration Tool.
4. Print the Pass Phrase. This step is not compulsory but it's highly recommended since the Pass Phrase is not stored anywhere
and there is no other way to remember it.
Important Info:
If you forget your Pass Phrase you can’t access the LaCie SAFE Drive Configuration Tool any more
to manage users.
