When used, the self-destruct PIN will
delete ALL data, Admin/User PINs
and then unlock the drive. Activating this
feature will cause the Self-Destruct PIN to become the new User PIN and the diskAshur PRO

will need to be partitioned
and formatted before any new data can be added to the drive.
To set the Self-Destruct PIN, first enter the “
Admin Mode
