NOTE: We recommend you not to unplug the device during initialization or to cancel the initialization process.

You may be prompted to authenticate to EEFF to access this key and will not be able to change the Recovery key the administrator has selected. • Recovery password — This recovery method enables user to select a Master Password (Recovery password). With this password you can recover the encrypted device without any interaction with the Helpdesk. Also, you can perform this recovery from a non-EEFF client. NOTE: The Recovery password must conform to the same password quality rules as your authentication password. Since Password History is a part of the hard coded password rules, this means that the Recovery password cannot be set to the same password as the authentication password. • Recovery certificate — This option enables the user to select a digital certificate to use for recovery. With the recovery certificate, you can recover the device without any interaction with the Helpdesk. Also, you can perform this recovery from a non-EEFF client. • Recovery questions — This option enables you to enter five questions and answers that will be used in a recovery situation.
