• After the Resetting the Cryptographic Key of FDE is done, you cannot boot your computer from the SSD nor read data in the SSD. The SSD itself makes a cryptographic key and manages it, but the ThinkPad computer does not store any cryptographic key information. Once a new cryptographic key is defined by doing the Resetting the Cryptographic Key, as there is no way to restore the previous key, recovery of the SSD data is impossible.

• If your computer runs satisfactorily now, it may not be necessary to update the software. To determine if you should update the software, refer to the Version Information section.
