Please remember that in some cases, for example, forgetting your password, you can be
locked out and unable to access your data. Please note therefore the following hints:
● Make regular backups to external storage devices such as external hard drives, CD
or DVD disks.
● Some security functions need you to choose a password. Make a note of the
passwords and keep them in a safe place.
If you forget your passwords you will need to contact the help desk. Passwords are not
