Note

- Be sure to initialize the TPM with Infineon TPM Professional Package when you use BitLocker and Infineon TPM Professional Package simultaneously.

- Be sure to write your password down so as not to forget it when you initialize the TPM, and keep it private from other users.
  If you forget the password, you can never restore the TPM-encrypted data again.

- Be sure to back up files (automatic backup archive, emergency recovery token, password reset token, password reset secret file, etc.) created when you initialize the TPM. Keep the backup files private from other users.
  If you lose the files, you may not be able to use functions, such as restoring the TPM settings or resetting the password.

- If you perform the user initialization, be sure to set a folder for the automatic backup after completing the user initialization wizard, and click to select the Run automatic backup now check box to update the backup files.
  If you do not follow the above instructions, restoring your data using the backup file may fail.

- A backup file (recovery password) for BitLocker is not created on Infineon TPM Professional Package.
