An authentication code is automatically generated according to a TPM password, and the authentication code is stored into an authentication device selected by a user. The authentication device storing the authentication code is directly served as an electronic key of the TPM so that the user needs not to memorize any password and can access data or a hard disk (HD) encrypted by the TPM by simply connecting the authentication device to the electronic device. Thereby, it is very convenient to the user.
