Can you log out of the decryption, leaving it in the USB slot, but encrypted?

Once you eject the drive it is encrypted again even though it remains plugged in to the USB slot. I don't think you can log out of the encryption without logging out the drive.

I'm not a techie, but I'll try to explain the way it works. When you insert it into a USB slot, it asks for a password to Data Traveler. Once you enter the password, it creates 2 drives on Windows Explorer, for me. One drive shows the software (DTL) and another shows the information on the drive. I'm sure this didn't answer your question, but just wanted to explain.

Apparently the answer is no. I was not interested in password protection so I did not look for that feature. There is nothing in the companion literature or on the drive itself that indicates my 16GB drives have this feature.

I would think you would just use the password you entered. I hope taking out the battery worked for you.

Unfortunately, you'll have to do a hard reset in order to disable the password. But that means you'll lose anything saved on the tablet memory. Good luck:-)

Yes, there is a backup logon, or you can bypass it by turning the feature off. Its so cool, though, you wouldn't want to.

I do not believe so? Our two are on the network. I'm sure if you go the USB route you would still need a login & password to get into the clock.

I have a mac book pro and it recognized the drive, and it showed up in the disc utility. I unfortunately, know nothing about encrypted files.

With the encryption constantly enabled on this USB flash drive, I would think it would not work. Even with the Drive formatted, it would not work.

Just closing it should lock it, but you may want to check the "security level" settings. There is high, low, and off. If it's "off" there won't be any security. The security level can by set by clicking the button with a lock under it.

You plug in and have to open the icon to set it up. It will then walk you through creating a password for encryption. Each time you plug it in you have to click on the icon, put in your password, and then it will open. This is fairly easy for an encrypted thumb drive, but you could get an even easier option if you don't need encryption. Encryption just means that if someone steals the thumb drive they have to put in a password to open your documents. Non-encrypted means that you don't have to put in a password to open it, so you just plug it in and it works.

As to the answer I am sorry you cannot turn it off and it does stay on in stand-by mode. If you want it off unplug the usb.

You could put a cable through the slot at the end of the device. The slot is about 1/8" by 5/16". A cable might prevent a casual grab of the device, but the slot is just a hole in the thin end of the plastic housing, presumably for carrying it on a keychain or the like. A determined thief could break through the plastic around the hole without much effort. It would have to be a dumb thief, though, since the device isn't much good for anything without the software it is meant to protect.

The encryption is handled by the hardware. You do not need to do anything or install anything for it to work.

Yes, if you reformat the drive, it will wipe out everything. When you set up the USB, you set it up with a password to prevent access to files on your drive.

All flash drives (jump drives; whatever) come with some 'firm-wear' that allows them to communicate with a new computer. This particular model not only comes with the basic interactive programming but it also includes an option to let you encrypt whatever you store on the flash drive. You do not have to use the encryption option but if you do, no one will be able to see the contents that you encrypted without a password. There is no such thing as a truly blank flash drive - your computer will recognize it as a 'mass storage device' or a 'disc drive.'

No. The Kingston will be reformatted. You will be guided to set a new password, then can upload data. From their website: "The drive locks down and reformats after 10 failed login attempts, so users can rest assured their data is safe even if the drive is lost or stolen." "Secure - drive locks down and reformats after 10 invalid login attempts "

no. mine works, i mean turns on, vista sees, etc, but not even close to fully and properly. if you are trying to do a backup, try something different. in the encrypted mode, i can't even write additional files to the drive.
