Once a connection to the server is confirmed, you will be asked to create a password that will be used to unlock the secure data partition each time you log into the DTVP-M.

1.Once you’ve decided on a password, enter it into the ‘Select password’ field, and re-enter it in the ‘Confirm password’ field, as seen in Figure 1.6. The password you create must meet the following criteria before the initialization process will allow you to continue:

•Passwords must contain at least 8 characters (default SafeConsole setting) or more (up to 64 characters)

•Passwords must also contain all three of the following default criteria options:

UPPER CASE (A-Z), lower case (a-z), &

numeric (0-9) characters

Figure 1.6 – Create Password

You may also enter a password hint, but it is not mandatory. However, the hint field can be useful in providing you a clue as to what the password is, should you ever forget your DTVP-M password.

(Note: The password hint CANNOT match or contain the exact password string.)

2.Click the checkbox to acknowledge your reading and understanding of the warranty.

3.Click on the arrow button () to continue.

4. When prompted, enter your DTVP-M password into the textbox (seen in Figure 1.7) and click on the arrow button to continue. (Note: The arrow button will enable as soon as you enter the first

password character into the textbox.)

(IMPORTANT NOTE: You MUST complete step 4 by

Figure 1.7 – Enter Password

entering your DTVP-M password (created in step 1) in

 

order to complete the initialization process successfully.)

 

This completes the initialization process and unlocks the secure data partition.
