Dekart Private Disk allows restoring the encryption key of the virtual encrypted disk using a previously created backup copy of the encryption key, thus restoring access to the encrypted disk itself (see the Creating backup copy of the encryption key section) .
To restore the encryption key from the backup copy, do the following:
| 1. | In Control Panel click Recovery. |
| 2. | The Open encryption key window will appear, as shown in Figure 42. |

| 3. | Select the folder where the encryption key backup copy is stored, enter the backup copy file name in the File Name field, click Open. |
| 4. | The software will request to enter an access password for the encryption key backup copy. |
Note. The alternative backup copy access password can consist of alphanumeric symbols and it is case-sensitive. Enter the password carefully.
| 5. | The software will request to select the folder and the filename of the file-image, for which the encryption key should be restored. |
| 6. | Enter the new password in the Password field to access the file-image of the encrypted disk (independent from the password to access the encryption key backup copy) and re-enter it in the Confirmation field to ensure accuracy. The entered password must be 5 or more symbols long. Otherwise, an insufficient password length message will appear. |
