Forgot Password

[Back to top]

The ‘Remote Password Reset’ is a feature in SafeConsole that allows DT4000-M users to change/create passwords without resetting the device, thus saving all data stored on the DT4000-M. The ‘Forgot Password’ menu option is available on the DT4000-M ONLY when ‘Remote Password Reset’ is enabled on the SafeConsole Management Server (consult your helpdesk or administrator for details.)

(Note: Remote Password Reset needs to be enabled on the SafeConsole Management Server PRIOR to initializing the DT4000-M device. By default, this feature is disabled. In either case, the pre-configured value for maximum number of password attempts {MaxNoA} is 10.)

Change Password

[Back to top]

This feature allows you to change your current DT4000-M password. You MUST know the existing password to utilize this function, as it will lock the device and prompt you for the existing DT4000-M password prior to invoking the ‘Change Password’ routine.

Reset Option

[Back to top]

This feature resets the DT4000-M back to its original “out-of-box” state. Resetting the device will erase all of the data stored in the protected area and require users to generate a new password.

(Note: The DT4000-M must register with SafeConsole each time the device is reset. Do NOT use this function if you are on a stand-alone workstation or in a remote location that does not have access to the SafeConsole server. Consult your administrator before resetting DT4000-M.
