6 digits and a maximum of 16 digits). The indicator light flashes green three times. See note below.

4. Re-enter the new Admin Password and press . The indicator light stays solid green for two seconds and then solid blue indicating that the Admin Password has been changed successfully.

1.If the indicator light flashes red intermittently and then blue intermittently, go back to step 3. This is due to one of the following conditions:

•You waited longer than 10 seconds before entering a password.

•The new password was entered incorrectly.

2.If no activity is detected within two minutes in the Admin Mode, the Aegis Padlock will return to the Standby Mode.
