Changing the Password for an Encrypted Volume
A password must be set up when you create an encrypted volume. After you
create a volume, you can change the password at any time. The password must be
entered under two conditions: when the NSS is started up after a power
interruption, or, the volume has been manually locked.
!
CAUTION
Because the password is required to de-crypt a locked volume, keep a backup of
the password to ensure that it is accessible when required. There is no way to
unlock the volume without the password. (If you forget the password, the only way
to unlock the volume is if there is a known password saved in a configuration file.
See
”Restoring a Configuration File” on page 62
