Change the encryption key: Input your old encryption password and input the new
password. (Note that after the password is changed, any previously exported keys
will not be working anymore. You have to download the new encryption key if
necessary, see below).
Download Encryption Key File: Input the encryption password to download the
encryption key file. Downloading the encryption key file will allow you to save the
encryption key in a file. The file is also encrypted and can be used to unlock a
volume, without knowing the real password (see "unlock a disk volume manually"
below). Please save the encryption key file in a secure place!
Remove Saved Key: Remove saved keys with this option.
Save Encryption Key: Save the encryption key on the NAS for automatic unlocking
and mounting the encrypted disk volume when the NAS restarts.
Unlocking Disk Volumes Manually
To unlock a volume, login the NAS as an administrator. Go to "Storage Manager" >
"Encrypted File System". You will be able to see your encrypted volumes and their
status: locked or unlocked. To unlock your volume, first click "Unlock this device".
Choose to either input the encryption password, or use the encryption key file that has
been exported previously. If the encryption password or the key file is correct, the
volume will be unlocked and become available.
