store a private key in a first memory of the electronic device;
store an encrypted version of a password and validity information defining a condition to the password's validity in a second memory of the electronic device;
detect, during a boot process of the electronic device, a failure to decrypt data stored in a third memory;
decrypt the encrypted version of the password using the private key;
determine, using the validity information, whether the password is valid; and
if the password is valid, input the decrypted password to a decryption service, wherein the decryption service is to decrypt the data stored in the third memory.
