FileVault external usb drive

I use Filevault to protect an external USB drive.

How do I edit the hint or change the password, etc?

Thanks.

See if this gets you anywhere: Use FileVault to encrypt the startup disk on your Mac - Apple .


if no, I suspect the thing to do is disable file vault on the external USB—then re-enable it in essence starting over w/ new psswd and hint.
