Learn how to use your Kingston IronKey Keypad 200 with this helpful walkthrough of the device’s functions.

Creating or Changing User PIN
Unlocking your drive with the Admin PIN will delete the User PIN set up previously. To create or change the User PIN while unlocked in Admin mode, press the KEY button twice, then enter your new User Pin, which must be between 8-15 digits or characters, and not contain only repetitive or sequential numbers (e.g. the User PIN cannot be ‘1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1’ or ‘1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8’).
After entering the new User PIN, press the KEY button twice. The blinking blue LED will switch to a blinking green LED. Re-enter the User PIN and press the KEY button twice more, which will confirm and save the new User PIN. You can now use it to unlock and access your drive.

Resetting your Device
In the event you forget both the User and Admin PINs, you can reset the drive to create new ones. However, this will completely wipe all data stored on the drive, so should be a last resort. The process features several steps.
First, press and hold down the ‘7’ button. While doing so, press the KEY button. Release both at the same time, and the red and green LEDs will alternate on and off. Next, press the ‘9’ button three times, then press and hold the ‘7’ button with the KEY button again. The blinking LEDs will switch to solid, then the green LED will turn off and the red LED fade out.

Creating a New User PIN
The KP200 will trigger data and PIN information deletion after 10 consecutive incorrect login attempts, depending on how the drive is set up. If this or a drive reset occurs, you will need to create a new User PIN.
Press the KEY button once, then when the LEDs are solid red and blinking green, press the KEY button two more times and enter your new User PIN. Like your previous User PIN, it must be between 8-15 digits or characters, and not contain only repetitive or sequential numbers (e.g. the User PIN cannot be ‘1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1’ or ‘1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8’).
Once this has been entered, press the KEY button twice, re-enter your new User PIN, then press the KEY button twice more to confirm.

Enabling and Exiting Read-Only Mode
To enable Read-Only mode for your KP200, unlock the drive with your PIN then press the KEY button three times. When the solid green LED switches to blinking green and blue, press the ‘7’ button, then the ‘6’, then the KEY button. The green and blue blinking LEDs will change to a solid red, then a solid green, signifying the activation of Read-Only mode.
To exit Read-Only mode and return to Read/Write mode, follow the same steps. Unlock the drive with your PIN, press the KEY button three times, then once the solid green LED switches to blinking green and blue, you will press the ‘7’ button, but this time followed by the ‘9’, then KEY.
