information, see the section Header Key Derivation, Salt, and Iteration Count.
Note: When VeraCrypt re-encrypts a volume header, the original volume header is first overwritten
many times (3, 7, 35 or 256 depending on the user choice) with random data to prevent
adversaries from using techniques such as magnetic force
microscopy or magnetic force
scanning tunneling microscopy [17] to recover the overwritten
header (however, see also the
chapter Security Requirements and Precautions).

System -> Change Password
Changes the password used for pre-boot authentication (see the chapter System Encryption).
WARNING: Your VeraCrypt Rescue Disk allows you to restore key data if it is damaged. By doing
so, you also restore the password that was valid when the VeraCrypt Rescue Disk was created.
Therefore, whenever you change the password, you should destroy your VeraCrypt Rescue Disk
and create a new one (select System -> Create Rescue Disk). Otherwise, an attacker could
decrypt your system partition/drive using the old password (if he finds the old VeraCrypt Rescue
Disk and uses it to restore the key data). See also the chapter Security Requirements and
Precautions.
For more information on changing a password, please see the section Volumes -> Change Volume
Password above.
System -> Mount Without Pre-Boot Authentication
Check this option, if you need to mount a partition that is within the key scope of system encryption
without pre-boot authentication. For example, if you need to mount a partition located on the
encrypted system drive of another operating system that is not running. This can be useful e.g.
when you need to back up or repair an operating system encrypted by VeraCrypt (from within
another operating system).
