Creating a Password
An encryption password must meet these requirements:
1. It must contain between 12 and 64 characters.
2. It must contain both letters and numbers.
3. It can contain any printable characters, including spaces.
If you try to enter a password that does not meet these criteria, a window
opens to remind you:
Note: A forgotten encryption password cannot be recovered. Make sure to
choose a password that is easily remembered or record and store the
password in a safe place.
To Encrypt a File
1. Right-click on a file you wish to encrypt. From the dropdown menu,
select Encrypt.
The Maxtor Encryption Window opens.
2. Enter a password for your file.
