[QUOTE="RavingMac, post: 1383942, member: 45350"] The problem isn't cracking the password . . . you have the password. You accidently damaged the encrypted file itself, which makes unencrypting now a virtual impossibility. The NSA could probably handle it, so if you have contacts with them, go for it, otherwise your data is toast. Backups are essential, as you well know, and even more so when using encrypted images.
