Acer eDataSecurity Management (for selected models)
Acer eDataSecurity Management is an encryption utility that protects your files from being accessed by
unauthorized persons. It is conveniently integrated with Windows Explorer as a shell extension for quick data
encryption/decryption and also supports on-the-fly file encryption for Lotus Notes and Microsoft Outlook.
The Acer eDataSecurity Management setup wizard will prompt you for a supervisor password and default
encryption password. This password will be used to encrypt files by default, or you can choose to enter your
own password when encrypting a file.
NOTE: The password used to encrypt a file is the unique key that the system needs to decrypt it. If you lose
the password, the supervisor password is the only other key capable of decrypting the file. If you lose
both passwords, there will be no way to decrypt your encrypted file! Be sure to safeguard all related
passwords!
