A storage device with an authentication feature providing enhanced convenience during locking. The device is a USB hard disk designed for connection to a personal computer, and includes a disk, an access controller, and a push-button. The access controller includes an encryption/decryption module 35; and, as functions executed by the CPU, an authentication module, an authenticated status holding module, and a decryption restricting module. When the push-button is depressed (S210: YES), the access controller resets itself (Step S220). When the access controller is reset, the startup control routine is executed again, and the access controller enters the locked state requiring password authentication by an operator.
