[QUOTE="Hatrabbit, post: 1527239, member: 63489"] Hi All, I formatted an external hard drive as Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted), and forgot the password. Yeah I know, I know... dumb mistake. I can get all the data back from another backup, but I am wondering if anyone here has tried doing a brute force password crack on a drive. Is this a viable option or am I out of luck? Thanks [/QUOTE]
