USING THE IRONKEY UNLOCKER ON WINDOWS
The IronKey Unlocker allows you to securely access your les on multiple operating systems.
It prompts you for your password, securely validates it, and then mounts your secure volume
where all of your les are stored on the IronKey.
Here is how to unlock your IronKey on Windows 2000 (SP4), XP (SP2), and Vista:
Step Description

it with your password.

Key” window appears (if it does not, you can go to “My
Computer” and double-click on the IronKey drive).

cure volume with all your secure applications and les.
Entering the wrong password too many times will
permanently erase all of your data. After every three
