Dear all,
I have recently upgraded to a SSD in one of my macs with the intention of using the old HDD in an enclosure for Time Machine backups. Whilst formatting the old HDD in Disk Utility, however, I accidentally encrypted the whole drive (or at least most of it) with a 'random' password. I do not seem to be able to format the HDD again in Disk Utility due to the encryption.
I should be most grateful for any help and advice so that I might format the encrypted HDD and use it in an enclosure for Time Machine backups.
Kind regards,
