Change password for hard drive encryption

Asked by Dariel Dato-on

Hello!

If I encrypt my hard drive with the new Gusty Gibbon, will I be able to change the password periodically (every six months or so)? Or is that password there for good?

Thanks!

From I research, I figured that the password cannot be changed.
