Menu CLI and Password Recovery
The Menu CLI interface is only allowed to users if their read permissions are Both
or Plaintext Only. Other users are rejected. Sensitive data in the Menu CLI is always
displayed as plaintext.
Password recovery is currently activated from the boot menu and allows the user
to log on to the terminal without authentication. If SSD is supported, this option is
only permitted if the local passphrase is identical to the default passphrase. If a
device is configured with a user-defined passphrase, the user is unable to activate
password recovery.

SSD properties are set in the Properties page.
