recovery of a single file

Thread needs solution

How can I use Acronis (2014) to view a single file?
I tried to open a backup file on my backup devise labeled MyBackup22_diff_b1_s5_v1.tib. I believe that this is a differential backup.
I get a response stating:
"The backukp archive you have chosen is password-protected. To access this backup archive you must enter the password."

I don't recall using a password when this was installed this year.

Am I going about this correctly and if so, do I need a password?

You can try opening the original full but I believe you will get the same message.

If a password was used (even if it was a space), it will have to be reproduced in order to access your backups.

Anothere method would be double click on the file when viewed in Windows Explorer.
