How To Access Encrypted USB Drive

jmac

Hello,

I've spent a lot of time searching the forums for an answer this and I can't find one.

I have a laptop drive removed and placed in an external USB enclosure that I need to decrypt. I have the correct password for the SafeGuard version on the drive, but I've lost the password for the windows system on the drive, so I can't boot from the drive and I need to access some files by attaching it to another laptop as a USB drive.

I've downloaded and installed SafeGuard Easy for home version 6.0 on the laptop I've attached the drive to.

And here is my question, I can see the drive in Explorer as drive F: - how do I gain access to the drive using SafeGuard so that it will challenge me for the password and I can unlock it and access my files?

Thanks in advance for your help!

JMac

    Hi JMac,

    which product (and version) did you use to encrypt the original drive? If it was SafeGuard Easy 5.x/6.x do you have access to the recovery key file (*.xml file) that was created right after installation of the product?

    Cheers,

    Chris
