Lost or forgotten controller password

The controller password is used to protect data in the event of a storage system theft. Once enabled, the

controller will not unlock encrypted volumes until the correct controller password has been provided. If the

controller password is lost or forgotten, the controller will remain locked and all encrypted volumes will be
offline and inaccessible.
