Unlocking in Read-Only mode
You can unlock your device in a read-only state so that files cannot be edited on your secure
drive. For example, say that you want to access a file on your device while using an untrusted
or unknown computer; unlocking your device in Read-Only Mode will prevent any malware on
that machine from infecting your device or modifying your files. Administrators can also set your
device to unlock in a read-only state.
1. Plug in your device and launch the Unlocker.
2. Click the ―Read-Only Mode‖ check box.
3. Click the ―Unlock‖ button.
»
You will see a message in the Control Panel that indicates you are in Read-Only Mode.
»
When you unlock your device in Read-Only Mode, you will remain in Read-Only Mode until
you lock your device.
»
Some features are not available in Read-Only Mode because they require modifying files on
your device. Examples of unavailable features include reformatting, restoring applications,
editing files on the Secure Files drive, editing the Applications List, and running onboard
Firefox.
