21Crypto AG / CN_M_HC-2650-Operation-e_0830_rd.PPT Factory Reset A factory reset sets the configuration of the unit back to the factory configuration. All user-entered data is lost. The following is done: 1. All Domains, including All CKs are deleted 2. CMP is reset to the customer-specific default value 3. Parameters are reset to default values or settings 4. All log entries are cleared. An entry is made to show that a factory reset occurred. 5. All passwords (except the Factory Reset password) are cleared or reset to their defaults. The following data is kept: The date and time of the real time clock are unchanged. When you have made a factory reset, always wait for: before doing anything else. The default factory reset password is: It can not be changed. Factory Reset

22Crypto AG / CN_M_HC-2650-Operation-e_0830_rd.PPT Unblock Unit The security manager can block a unit. Blocked means, that the unit does not communicate in cipher nor plain mode and that the application managers access is not possible. In this case the unit will display ‘Unit blocked’ in the second line. To make it operational another person can unblock it using the unblock password given by the security manager. Security manager menu access will also unblock a blocked unit. Units may be blocked e.g. for transportation, during short storage before use or other reasons. Unblock Unit

23Crypto AG / CN_M_HC-2650-Operation-e_0830_rd.PPT Unlock Passwords Users enter a password to log in to the menu. The unit counts how many times the password is entered incorrectly. If a password is entered incorrectly five times, that user level is locked. The Unlock PWDs function is also located under special functions. Here you can unlock any user level or reset the counter. For the operation the Unlock PWDs password is needed. The Unlock PWDs password is defined by the security manager. It must be exactly 15 digits/characters long Unlock PWDs
