Password and encrypted drive - Safegaurd Easy
I have a work machine encrypted with SafeGaurd Easy that has been imaged multiple times. When attempting access to access the backup archive I'm prompted for a password. The images were not created with an Acronis password and the default options in the Acronis install does not have a password set, or at least the options fields are blank. Acronis was installed after SafeGaurd Easy. Any idea where this password is coming from?

Its asking be for the password when I explore the image. I have access to the file and folders. No problem there. I didn't put an Accronis password on it so I don't know where its coming from. I know my SafeGuard Easy password (not the admin password) and that does not work to unlock the image.

Hello ed zappulla,
Thank you very much for getting back to us.
Most likely our software, because of encryption, detects the images as corrupt, and asks for the password. As Yana suggested in her previous reply to you, we do have limitations when working with encrypted partitions.
The most reliable way to work with encrypted partitions, would be to create a raw (sector-by-sector) backup of an encrypted partition when booted from the bootable CD. If the OS fails to boot after restoring an encrypted partition, you can always try this solution.
Thank you.

OK. Got it. I thought it was something along those lines. I don't want to actually restore the image. I want to browse it.
