Using the IronKey UNLOCKER on Windows

The IronKey Unlocker allows you to securely access your files on multiple operating systems. It prompts you for your password, securely validates it, and then mounts your secure volume where all of your files are stored on the IronKey.

Here is how to unlock your IronKey on Windows 2000 (SP4), XP (SP2), and Vista:

Step

Plug in your IronKey and unlock it with your password.

Choose which action to take when you unlock it.

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 verified in hardware) will mount your secure volume with all your secure applications and files.

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.

By selecting the corresponding checkboxes before unlocking your IronKey, you can view your secure files, launch the IronKey Control Panel, unlock the IronKey in a Read-Only Mode where files 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.
