The storage device can only be unlocked when it is safely housed within Lyve Drive Shuttle and will not work if it is removed.
Create a password
Lyve Drive Shuttle can only be unlocked by the device password. During the initial setup, you are prompted to create a password. A minimum of 6 characters are required.
Some tips for creating a strong password:
- Combine numbers, special characters, and upper and lower case letters.
- Use more than the minimum 6 characters.
- Avoid predictable number sequences such as 123456.
- Avoid predictable keyboard sequences such as QWERTY.
- Avoid repeated characters such as 111111 or AAAAAA.
Create a password that is easy to remember, and store it in a safe place. Similar to mobile phones, your password cannot be recovered, not even by Seagate.
