Option	Definition
Enabled	The Recovery option is enabled by default. This activates the Administrator Recovery option in the client system.
Administrator recovery	Key size — The recovery key size options. The recovery Response Code size depends on this recovery key size. This does not affect the size of the challenge code. Low — A recovery key size that creates a short Response Code for the recovery. Medium — A recovery key size that creates a medium size Response Code for the recovery. High — A recovery key size that creates a lengthy Response Code for the recovery. Full — A recovery key size that creates a Response Code, with the maximum number of characters, for the recovery.

The user must then re-enroll their self-recovery details with new self-recovery answers.

When this option is enabled, the Pre-Boot Authentication (user name) screen includes the Reset self-recovery option. On selecting Reset self-recovery , the user is prompted for a password, then self-recovery enrollment. Note Only initialized users can reset their self-recovery details.
Duplicate	Duplicates or copies the policy with a different name and this can be assigned to a different user.
