Administrative password

Encrypted container files can be accessed using a central administrator password.

Ensure that the administrative password is complex enough.

In addition to the central password, you can also create additional administrative password rules and prioritize them differently. By using different passwords, you can provide increased security.

To create a new administrator rule, open the context menu of Encrypted drive recovery and then select Administrative password rule.

You can restrict the password rules for certain logged on users or user groups, computers or networks. Enter the required information on the tabs in the dialog. See the use cases for BitLocker To Go, that apply equally to Encryption 2-Go.

Use the Do not automatically use this password when a user mounts encrypted containers option only if this rule is used within a user selection rule.

The following options are available on the Options tab:

• With any type of encryption - This identifier is always used.

• Encryption by users (using command line or GUI) - This identifier is used only when encryption is performed by a user via command line or through DriveLock's user interface.

• Enforced or automatic encryption - This identifier is used only when encryption is performed automatically by DriveLock.
