Logging in as the Admin
If, during the initial setup, you chose to enable the drive as User Only, enter your password and click to Login. If you enabled Admin & User Passwords, you will still need to enter the User password but then select “Login as Admin” to enter the Admin password and access your device’s full settings and features.

Using the Virtual Keyboard
Remember, you can use the Virtual Keyboard function for additional keylogger and screenlogger protection, as well as the “eye” symbol to quickly check for any typos or errors.

How to use the Encryption
Once you’ve unlocked your drive, you can securely access your stored files, which are automatically encrypted and decrypted every time they are Saved or Opened. Experience peace of mind while you work with this “always-on” security feature.

Using USBtoCloud
During the initial setup for your LP50, you will have the option to accept the USBtoCloud license to automatically backup your data to your cloud storage every time you log in, or you can decline this feature and it will not come up again. If you’ve chosen to utilize the USBtoCloud software, you will first install the application and then select the Cloud option you’d like to use from the list. After authenticating with the Cloud service, you can control your backup settings by pausing, restoring from the Cloud to your device, changing the Cloud service or even the language. The USBtoCloud and IronKey icons will be visible in the right-hand corner of your Windows® taskbar or in the macOS® menu that when clicked will open a menu with additional drive options.

Changing the Settings
Let’s take a look at the IronKey device settings. To do so, right-click the IronKey icon and select ‘LP50 Settings’, where you can change the login password, contact information, device language and other Admin options. Any changes made here will require you to enter your password in order to accept and apply them. If you would like to cancel or continue to modify your changes, leave the password field blank and click ‘OK’ to return to the settings menu.

Resetting the Password
On the Admin Options tab, you can reset the User Password, if forgotten. The new password requirement will be based on what was chosen during the initial set-up process (complex or passphrase) and will take effect on the next User login.
