Keep an encrypted volume’s password or USB key in a safe place. You cannot 
access a locked volume without the password or USB key. All of the volume’s 
data will be unusable. If you use a USB key, keep backup copies. Do not use 
the USB key for anything else (do not store data on it or format it).
