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 will mount your se-
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
attempts, you must unplug and reinsert the IronKey.
NOTE: Some operations require that your IronKey
connect to the Internet before unlocking. If it cannot
connect, click on “Edit Proxy Settings...” to congure
how your IronKey connects to the Internet.
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 your Iron-
Key in Read-Only Mode, and/or securely log into your
my.ironkey.com account.
