HI,

I have a time machine drive, with important stuff in it, the password to which I have forgotten. The password is also not stored in the keychain. Is there any way to recover this drive?

It is a backup of my MacBook Air which is linked to my apple id.

Also, do suggest 3rd party apps you may know that might unlock the drive.

I even have a hint set, the keywords from which, may help in unlocking the drive faster.

If nothing works, can apple service centre do it?

Thanks.

I will concede to more Learned Contributors but think without the Password the TM Backup can not be UnLocked. To my knowledge - there is no Third Party Software that can unlock the drive either. Nor, can Apple Services do that.

Wish the news was better
