Changing the Password for an Encrypted Volume
A password must be set up when you create an encrypted volume (
see Creating a Volume
). After the
volume is created, 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.
WARNING:
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 the password is forgotten, the only way to retrieve the password is
if the password was saved in a configuration file. See Restoring the Configuration (
see Restoring a
Configuration File
) for help on this.)
To change the password on an existing encrypted volume:
1. From the
Manager Menu
, click
Storage
Volumes.
The
Volumes
page appears.
