Sophos SafeGuard Disk Encryption (SDE): using function keys with the PBA
Instead of pressing the Enter key, you can use the following Function (F) keys after entering your password at the Pre-Boot Authorization (PBA) screen:
| Function key | Action |
|---|---|
F2 | changes user. |
F7 | boots from external media (press instead of the Enter key once you've typed your password). |
F9 | generates a challenge code. Use this when you've forgotten your password and need to enter a challenge/response code to log in. |
F10 | allows you to change your password once you've logged in. |
