[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1763694, member: 204485"] The password should be in the form of 4 sets of 4 numerals I think. So 16 digits all up. To restore the contents of the TM backup to your new device there are a couple of ways available. You can boot the device from the Restore Partition with the backup drive connected. Use the Reinstall Operating System option and follow the guides until you reach the "would you like to restore files from a TM backup" At that point you should be asked for the encryption password. From this point on I'm in the dark. If the password you have is the correct one it may offer to de encrypte the device. It will then display in the options window as available to restore from. The really disappointing thing here is the lack of support articles on the topic. [/QUOTE]
