About the default password

A default password:
  • Lets you encrypt all of the files and folders in a device session with the same password.
  • Eliminates the need for the
    Removable Media Access Utility
    to prompt you for a password each time it attempts to encrypt a file or folder.
  • Reduces or eliminates decryption prompts. It tries to use the default password to decrypt files and folders before it prompts you.
