Special Notes
Depending on the size of the storage device, it may take some time for it to be encrypted
You may continue to use your computer which the encryption takes place
It is important to keep the recovery key in a safe place, as you will be unable to access the data without it
It is recommended you store the recovery key in a secure location with at least one location that is NOT the current computer
If you are not an administrator of your machine, you will need to contact the Help Desk to enter the administrator credentials
