My ADEPT Key
Anytime someone puts a lock on something you own, against your wishes, and doesn't give you the key, they're not doing it for your benefit.
I was not explicitly given my key, but I found that if you really look into
your e-reader's .adobe-digital-editions/activation.xml, you
will find something like this:

Get your key and guard it, and backup the DRM'd books you've got from Adobe Digital Editions. Knowing this key gives you power to decrypt your books when Adobe Digital Editions finally crumbles.
I rewrote the final paragraph, more information on Adept DRM is coming soon
