This user guide explains how to use the Dell Data Security Console v11.7.1 to manage encryption status, sign-in access, and enroll credentials for PBA.
The Dell Data Security Console provides a centralized interface to ensure security for all users of a computer. Key features include viewing and managing the encryption status of drives and partitions, setting up multi-factor authentication with passwords or smart cards, and recovering access if a password is forgotten without needing help desk assistance. The console also allows users to change their Windows password and set personal preferences.
It provides access to applications that ensure security for all users, view and manage encryption status, and enroll PBA password and recovery questions.
You can use pre-defined Recovery Questions to access your Windows accounts if the password is expired or forgotten.
No, you should only change your Windows password in the Data Security Console; changing it elsewhere may cause a mismatch requiring recovery.
