Abstract
A non-volatile memory (NVM) is to store data and a first password. The first password is to protect the data. A controller is to selectively enable interaction with the data based on authenticating the first password against a second password. A temporary region is to store the second password. The second password is discarded in response to a status change of the apparatus. The data, the first password, and the second password are resettable by the controller in response to a reset request to bypass the first password, such that the apparatus is restorable to an unused state without authenticating the first password.
