II.ESET Endpoint Encryption Server Administrator

If a user loses or forgets their FDE credentials, they can be re-enabled via the ESET Endpoint Encryption Server (EEE Server). The text that appears in the Reset Password section can be edited in workstation policy. This is so the admin can provide details to the user of how to contact them or an individual who has been given rights, to carry out the next steps to give the user access.

To recover the user the administrator executes the steps below:

1.Select the correct team in the navigation panel, then the Workstations tab and highlight the user concerned.

2.Click Details.

3.In the details panel, select the FDE Logins tab and the affected user.

4.Click Recover.

5.Make sure the Login Name, Workstation and Recovery Index matches, then supply the user with the Recovery Password.
