text: **12.7 Recovering from a provider loss**
  
  If both encryption key providers are enabled, and you lose one of them (by losing all copies of 
  the encryption key kept on the USB flash drives or by losing all SKLM servers), you can 
  recover from this situation by disabling the provider to which you lost the access. To disable 
  the unavailable provider, you must have access to a valid master access key on the remaining 
  provider. 
  
  If you have lost access to the encryption key server provider, issue the following command: 
  
  chencryption -keyserver disable 
  
  If you have lost access to the USB flash drives provider, issue the following command: 
  
  chencryption -usb disable 
  
  If you want to restore the configuration with both encryption key providers, follow the 
  instructions that are described in 12.5, “Configuring more providers” on page 647. 
  
  **Note:**If you lose access to all encryption key providers that are defined in the system, no 
  method is available to recover access to the data protected by the master access key.
