Hello, I was given a cd burned with some private information, but in order to open it and view what is on the disk I have to insert the password, but when I connect the CD to my MacBook Air I am stuck on which next steps should I take to try an get these files to open and unlock it. Is anyone able to assist me with this issues I need to be able to access these files ASAP.
Thank you
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.1
My vote is for getting the password from the person who gave you the disk. I mean, what choice do you have?
Is the CD protected, or just a file/folder?
If this was made for a Windows user, then maybe they require a special app to be used (perhaps even provided on the CD). Or maybe the CD was only made/meant for a Windows user since sometimes there may be hidden "partitions" when viewed on another OS.
Or maybe the CD is damaged or the file corrupt.
Your best option is to ask the person who provided you with the CD for assistance since there are so many unknown variables here.
If the CD was generated on or for Mac, update your Mac from 12.1 to current, and try again.
If you don’t know if this CD was generated on or for Mac, ask the person that provided it.
You will need to enter the password that you (or whomever) created. We have no idea what that would be.

So, when you double-click on it, does it prompt you for a password? Is this a CD-RW disk?
