NOTE: If at any point you wish to clear the TPM module’s information
and return the eo a7330 to its original “unowned” state, go back to the
“TPM State” menu and tap on the “Change TPM State” option or press

the TPM will be cleared.
VERY IMPORTANT: If you lose your password and decide to clear the
TPM, know that you will forever lose access to any data on the hard
drive that is encrypted using the TPM’s current encryption key. Make
sure that any data you wish to access in the future has been backed up
in an unencrypted form before clearing the TPM. Also, if you decide
to disable and deactivate the TPM, you will lose access to any data
currently encypted by the TPM until you reactivate it.
Creating a Windows Login Password
If you didn’t choose to do so during the initial setup procedure,
the first step in securing your sensitive information is creating a
Windows login password.
