Pushbutton™ Backup - Toshiba PX1267E-1G32 User Manual

connect your Drive to, it is always secure. When you connect the
Drive to a computer, a login screen will appear asking you to input
your password. If you do not input the correct password, the hard
disk drive partition of the Drive will not mount. (The CD partition
will mount regardless if you log in or not, for the login screen is
launched from this partition.)
Password Security employs SHA2 encryption, which uses a type
of algorithm, known as a hash function, to encrypt your password.
The encrypted password is stored as a hash value (a fixed-sized
output generated from a variable-sized amount of text). Because
the hash is one-way only, it is extremely difficult to decrypt,
making Password Security very secure, to say the least. It is so
secure, in fact, that if you forget your password you will simply
never be able to access the stored data. The data is effectively lost.
Luckily, you can create a password hint to help you remember.
Instructions for using Password Security are included in the
chapter "Password Security."
