Acer eDataSecurity Management
(for selected models)
Acer eDataSecurity Management is an encryption utility that protects your files
from being accessed by unauthorized persons. It is conveniently integrated with
Windows Explorer as a shell extension for quick data encryption/decryption and
also supports on-the-fly file encryption for Lotus Notes and Microsoft Outlook.
On first use, the Acer eDataSecurity Management setup wizard will prompt you
to create the Master Password. You will use this password to access the Personal
Secure Disk (PSD). The Master Password may also be used to encrypt/decrypt
files by default.
If you set a different password to encrypt a file, but you forgot the encryption
password, you can use the Master Password to decrypt the file.
Note: The password used to encrypt a file is the unique key that
the system needs to decrypt it. If you lose the password, the
Master Password is the only other key capable of decrypting the
file. If you lose both passwords, there will be no way to decrypt
your encrypted file! Be sure to safeguard all related passwords!
