I made a new disk image with the following properties - Volume Format - Mac OS Extended (Journaled), Encryption - 256 bit AES Encryption, Single Partition - Apple Partition Map, Image Format - read/write disk image. I set the password as F^@m1t10s^kh Thereafter, I saved two important files in it. After which I deleted the files from the original source folders & emptied the trash. When I tried to open the.dmg image, I can't as the password does not match. Since this happened immediately I can be sure that the password that I remember is 95% correct. There could be a 5% error.

I have created a.dmg file with password. Unfortunately I forgot the password and I my Google searches have not resulted in a way to reset the password of this.dmg file. I’ll get to that. I somehow needed to “crack” this password. To transfer out many many gigabytes worth of data as a single DMG file before being.

How do I crack the password? The convention used to create the password was - ^ instead of u, @ instead of a, 1 instead of i, & again ^ instead of u. I have a feeling that I might have made a similar replacement for the s, k, or h. I tried all permutations assuming the rest of the digits to be correct, but to no avail.

On my keyboard ^ & a does not convert to something else. So that could not be the problem. Also I copied these files from my office Windows network & pasted into Mac desktop, then copied into the Disk image. After that I deleted the files from the desktop & emptied the trash.

Also I deleted the files from the office server with shift delete. I did try the undelete software in Windows which got a poor version of the file. Undelete from Mac is more cumbersome & still working on that.

Don't you think that I have a better chance with some brute force cracker as I have the password 95% correct. Some algorithm can manage the balance with some more permutations & combinations quickly. Thanks in advance. Click to expand.I am sure about the F^@m1t10 after that not sure what variant I used for 'sukh'. I am using Data Rescue3 for the file recovery in the Macbook.

The problem is I get thousands of reconstructed files. Az Process Server Training Manual here. Boyz Ii Men Legacy Zip Code there. There is no way to search for the content of the files. It allows you to search within the reconstructed file names. But the names are not the name of the original file, as that is lost once deleted from trash. I have previewed all the reconstructed xls files, but these are not the files I am looking for.

So that leaves from to try to crack this disk image. Click to expand.The thing you need to remember is that your password is used in concert with a hash to create the encryption key which will decrypt your data. So knowing 1/2 of the password does you little good when one character being off generates a completely different key. Your only chance is guessing the password. You say you have part of the password for sure.
