Password Warning
Do not lose the pass-
word. If you do so you
will be unable to make
administrative changes
unless you clear the
TPM. This could then re-
sult in data loss.

emergency recovery to-
ken. It is recommended
that you save the file to
removable media such
as a USB Flash drive (or
backup using the tool
provided - see page 7 -
