[. . . ] After you have installed the Infineon TPM Professional Package, you need to set a few TPM passwords on your computer. Without these passwords, you will not be able to restore any TPM-protected data. Be sure to write down the passwords and keep them safe and private from other people. Be sure to make backup copies of the latest emergency recovery archive file, emergency recovery token file, password reset token file, and personal secret file and keep them safe and private from other people before sending your computer for repair. The data stored in the TPM that is embedded on the motherboard may be lost or corrupted during the course of repair. During the course of motherboard repair, the TPM will be replaced even if there are no problems with the module. In such a case, use the backup copies of the emergency recovery archive file, emergency recovery token file, password reset token file, and personal secret file to restore the TPM configuration. Be sure to make a backup copy of the data stored on the hard disk drive before sending your computer for repair. The hard disk drive may be initialized and returned after the repair work and, in such a case, you will not be able to restore the data on the hard disk drive using the backup copies of the emergency recovery archive file, emergency recovery token file, password reset token file, and personal secret file. Make sure you set up the automatic backup operations after completing the TPM initialization wizard. If the window containing the Run automatic backup now check box is displayed after the setup, select the check box and update the backup files.
