PointSec Recovery

In reply to How to access Pointsec Encrypted Drive

First,check for the recovery file thats created when you have installed the PointSec on the computer.If this not there then forget about the data in the HDD.

If, You have the recovery file,then unlock the file to a floppy disket(it’ll be a bootable disk).From any other system where pointsec is installed(from make
recovery disk option that is there in the programs in start menu).

After this,boot the system with this floopy,then it will ask for decrypet(choose all drives).

PointSec Recovery

In reply to PointSec Recovery

Along with rams_g22@ post you need the 2 Pointsec Administrator accounts when you boot the the floppy.

Contact Pointsec

In reply to How to access Pointsec Encrypted Drive

You need to get the bootable CD/diskete files so you can log into Poinsec as the administrator. If you don’t have the admin login and password you will not be able to retrieve the data. If you have another machine with Poinsec on it you can remove the defective drive and add it as a second drive to the other machine. Then you will bw able to access both drives under the admin login.

How to access data from Pointsec encrypted Pen Drive

In reply to Pointsec problem

Hi
I have copied some JPEG, PDF and .AVI files from a Pointsec protected laptop to my Pen Drive. When I access this Pen drive from my home desktop, I am able to view the AVI files but not the JPEG or PDF. I am able to copy them to my PC and it shows XYZ Kb but when I open the JPEGs, I get a Red Cross nothing else. How can I access these files? Please advice. Regards,

How to access data from Pointsec encrypted Pen Drive

In reply to How to access data from Pointsec encrypted Pen Drive

When you copied the files on the USB, you might have been prompted to encrypt the drive. When you say yes, the drive gets encrypted. Now when you try to access the data from the USB, there will be one file named pme.exe on it. Double click on the pme.exe file and authenticate with pwd, and access the data without any issue.

run fixmbr … that should do it…

In reply to Pointsec problem

fixmbr is available in window cd/dvd…under repair option…

Re : Pointsec problem

In reply to Pointsec problem

Have you tried booting with different modes like, safe mode etc ? If you have tried that then only way to get your data is to do Pointsec Decryption, which I have already posted on this forum. If any issue please mail me on prashant280375@yahoo.co.in

To Create a Recovery Disk ? Part 2:

Another method of creating a recovery disk is as follows:
1. On a working computer with PointSec installed go to C:\Program Files\Pointsec\Pointsec for PC and execute the UseRec.exe
2. Navigate to the .REC file
3. Select Unlock first step (with token)
4. Select Create Medium (with token)
5. Select USB drive and click okay (A floppy disk may also be used in place of the USB, but it is less widely available).
6. Recovery will write to the USB. During the process the user will be instructed to remove and re-insert the USB. Wait until the USB remounts before clicking OK. You will receive a message that the recovery has been successfully created.
7. From this point the machine can be booted off the USB or an .ISO image may be created to be written to a CD.

Booting from Recovery Media:

1. Insert the recovery media into the machine that you need to recover
2. Hit F12 as the machine is booting to select the USB, CD, or Floppy as the boot device
3. The machine will boot off of the media and give a PointSec authentication screen. A token is required here
4. Once authenticated the user will be given the choice of volumes to decrypt. Have them choose to recover all.

Couple of points

In reply to Please help for the Pointsec ver4.91

This is an old Zombie thread, you should start your own question.

Where does the .rec file reside?

You don’t remember the systems Admin password or just the pointsec admin password?

Thanks for reply

Ishan2803 – help w/no vol matches

In reply to How to access Pointsec Encrypted Drive

Thank you for your post. I have created the recovery file, however, when i use it on the computer that’s giving me the problem, it fails.

I’m finally able to see something other than the blue screen with PS####…
It boots up from my USB and asks me for the PS token ID/PW, which i enter, but then I get the error: No volume matches the recovery information. I’m guessing that has to do how i created the recovery file. Any ideas???

Thanks!!!!

Wow

In reply to How to access Pointsec Encrypted Drive
