Master password

The master password is a single password that allows you access to the Predesktop
Area and backups. This is set by using the command line interface, and is the only
password option if Client Security Solution is not installed.

User ID and password or passphrase

This option uses the Client Security Solution code for password or passphrase
management. The Client Security Solution GINA will prompt the user for this
password or passphrase on startup of the Predesktop Area. This provides better
security for a multi-user environment. If a user logs on using the GINA, that user
is allowed access to that user’s files only, and no one else’s.

This option can be set through the command line interface or the GUI.

No password

This option uses no authentication.

Create Rescue Media

The Create Recovery Disc function has been separated from the Create Rescue
Media application in the Windows 7 version of the Rescue and Recovery program,
and this makes the Create Rescue Media a unique function to create the bootable
rescue media for virtual Predesktop Area. To enhance user experience, we provide
the following entries to launch the Create Rescue Media program in the Rescue
and Recovery program 4.3:
1.

An additional menu button for accessing the Create Rescue Media program is
available in the advanced mode of the Rescue and Recovery program.

2.

A shortcut to the Create Rescue Media program is available on the Advanced
tab in the advanced mode of the Rescue and Recovery program.

3.

The Create Rescue Media function is embedded in the Lenovo ThinkVantage
Tools application.
