Reset Device

If you forget your password, you can click
on the 'Reset Device' link that appears in
the login window when D300_Launcher is
executed (see
Figure 11.3
This option will allow you to create a new
password, but in order to protect the privacy
of your data, the D300 will be formatted.
This means that all of your data will be
erased in the process.*
When you do click on 'Reset Device', a
message box (
Figure 11.4
ask if you want to enter a new password
prior to executing the format. At this point,
you can either 1) click 'OK' to confirm or 2)
click 'Cancel' to return to the login window.
If you opt to continue, you will be prompted
to create a new complex password and a
new hint. The hint is not a mandatory field,
but it can be useful in providing a clue as to
what the password is, should the password
ever be forgotten.
(Note: The hint CANNOT be an exact match
to the D300 password.)
*Note: A device format will erase ALL of the information stored on the D300's secure data partition.
