Using Secure Lock Ware

When you use your encrypted device, you’ll have to enter your password. This will happen whenever a computer with the device attached is booted, and when the device is plugged into a computer.

If this window doesn’t open automatically, you may open it manually from the Secure Lock Ware software by clicking on Unlock the Device on this PC.

If you enter an incorrect password, access to the device will be denied. If you chose to include a hint with your password, the hint will be displayed.

To access the encrypted storage device, a PC must have the Secure Lock Ware software installed. See page 4 for instructions on installing the Secure Lock Ware software on the computer if it’s not already installed.

Once you have entered the password, you may use the storage device normally. It will appear in My Computer with the next available drive letter.
