Infineon Security Platform Solution - Initialization Wizard

Owner Password

The Owner Password is required to perform critical administrative Security Platform tasks.

This page is displayed in Security Platform Initialization Wizard and Quick Initialization Wizard, if the Owner Password already exists, but the Security Platform is not yet initialized.

This is the case under these circumstances:

• If the Owner Password has been set via Microsoft application Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Management.
• If the Security Platform initialization process was interrupted, may be due to power loss or some other reason.
• If the Security Platform is initialized and has an owner on another operating system.
• If the Security Platform is initialized on one operating system, and then the user initializes the Security Platform on another by entering the BIOS.

To authenticate, you can either type the password or provide an Owner Password Backup file.

This page is not available in server mode as the Security Platform gets automatically initialized if the client system is integrated into a Trust Domain with centralized management, i.e. the administrator does not have to perform this task.
