Unlock the Device
Roving Edge Device arrives in a locked state. You must unlock the device using an unlock passphrase when you power on the device.
The passphrase was created when you created the device node, as described in Creating a Roving Edge Infrastructure Device Node.
Anytime you reboot the device, it reverts to a locked state. Receiving a Device is locked message after trying to connect to an API endpoint is indicative that the device is in a locked state. Unlock the device to proceed.
If your device is unexpectedly in a locked state, it might have accidentally rebooted. Check that your power connection is steady and not inadvertently causing device reboots.
