OPTIONS

       -c     Change current password.

       -d     Disable  device  security leaving the data intact. The current password is required
              to perform this command. WARNING: this makes all current data  files  AND  possibly
              also deleted data public.

       -D     Dump all raw info(for debug)

       -e     Enable  device security, protecting all files currently on the data partition using
              a password.

       -h     Print a short help message.

       -i     Display device information.

       -l <cd image>
              Load a new CD image into the cd partition of the device. Make sure the cd partition
              is big enough to contain the file. Else you'll have to repartition the device using
              the '-p' option.

       -p <cd size>
              Repartition device, reassinging the device space between the cd and data partition.
              The argument specifies the size of the CD partition. The rest of the device will be
              assigned to the data partition. The data partition  needs  reformating  after  this
              command has been issued.

       -R     Reset  device  security  destroying private data. This can be used if the device is
              blocked or the password is lost.
