Initializing the TPM chip

When you use the TPM function for the rst 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 les and folders
encrypted by the TPM function rst. Otherwise, you
will not be able to access the les and folders after re-
initialization.
1 Restart the computer.
