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
1 Plug in your IronKey and unlock
it with your password.
When you plug your IronKey in, the “Unlock Your Iron-
Key” window appears (if it does not, you can go to “My
Computer” and double-click on the IronKey drive).
Entering your password correctly (which is veried in
hardware) will mount your secure volume with all your
secure applications and les.
Entering the wrong password 10 consecutive times will
permanently erase all of your data. After every three
attempts, you must unplug and reinsert the IronKey.
2 Choose which action to take
when you unlock it.
By selecting the corresponding checkboxes before
unlocking your IronKey, you can view your secure les,
launch the IronKey Control Panel, unlock the IronKey
in a Read-Only Mode where les cannot be edited,
and/or securely log into your my.ironkey.com account.
Your selection of these checkboxes will be stored as
the default for the next time you plug your device in.
