rmills Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Is it possible to rest the password for a password encripted storage set? I have an old Storage set that I have lost the password to. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltr Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 hi rmills, this is not possible. if it were, the encryption would be worthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twickland Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Was the Storage Set actually encrypted, or was it only password-protected? Somewhere back in the early days when Backup Sets were still called Storage Sets, we found that the "password protection" of unencrypted tape sets seemed to be limited only to the current catalogue. Rebuilding the catalogue from the tapes allowed access to the data without the password. Mercifully, at some point this "feature" was eliminated. I suspect, however, that you have probably already tried this approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Wow, Twickland...You have been using Retrospect a very long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartin Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Hi: Err, I was using Retrospect with A/UX, do i get a share of Twickland's prize? My impression is that Retrospect uses a 56 bit DES cypher. I would imagine this is very breakable, given some money, and know how. A quick internet search might point to some companies that could help. I'd think it would be like getting data off broken hard drives, don't even bother if your not prepared to spend thousands on it. -Shon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
