bottom of the dialog.<br />
NOTE: We recommend you not to unplug the device during initialization or to cancel the<br />
initialization process. This may result in a device in an unknown state, which means it<br />
cannot be used on a machine with EEFF installed.<br />
Once the initialization is complete, an authentication dialog appears requesting the user to<br />
authenticate to the device. Provide the authentication in<strong>for</strong>mation to use the device.<br />

• Recovery key — This method uses a Recovery key from the central management<br />
system to configure the recovery of the device. You may be prompted to authenticate<br />
to EEFF to access this key <strong>and</strong> will not be able to change the Recovery key the<br />
administrator has selected.<br />
• Recovery password — This recovery method enables user to select a Master Password<br />
(Recovery password). With this password you can recover the encrypted device without<br />
any interaction with the Helpdesk. Also, you can per<strong>for</strong>m this recovery from a non-EEFF<br />
client.<br />
NOTE: The Recovery password must con<strong>for</strong>m to the same password quality rules as<br />
your authentication password. Since Password History is a part of the hard coded<br />
password rules, this means that the Recovery password cannot be set to the same<br />
password as the authentication password.<br />

use <strong>for</strong> recovery.<br />
With the recovery certificate, you can recover the device without any interaction with<br />
