Using the TPM Security Device (Optional)

Initializing the TPM chip

2

When you use the TPM function for the first time or you want to register the user again, you have to initialize the TPM chip.

 

••

Initializing the TPM chip erases all authentication

 

 

 

information saved on the TPM chip. Any decision to

 

 

 

initialize must be taken carefully.

 

 

••

To initialize the TPM chip again while the TPM function is

 

 

 

in use, you have to decrypt any existing files and folders

 

 

 

encrypted by the TPM function first. Otherwise, you

 

 

 

will not be able to access the files and folders after re-

 

 

 

initialization.
