Overview

The Disk Copy or Disk Utility feature for macOS can be used to create an encrypted disk image. Encryption means it requires a password to open or become available (to 'mount'). An encrypted disk image acts as secure storage space and can be used like any other disk image file. It may be copied to or created on network volumes or removable media, including Zip drives, USB flash media, or FireWire hard drives. Each encrypted disk image is protected by a password. The following document explains how to create, mount, and unmount an encrypted disk image.
Important: If you forget the password to your encrypted disk image, the data on that disk image cannot be recovered.

So I opened it and when in installer window popped up I (stupidly) without even looking just double clicked on the icon which was titled 'install.command' (see pics). Adobe flash player.dmg virus apple. So I was cleaning out my downloads folder when I came across an 'Adobe Flash Player.dmg', I assumed it must have just been some sort of update when I needed a flash player for something on the browser.

Storing the password in your keychain is optional, iTunes does not need it to make backups (presumably because a token is stored on the device or in iTunes). When you enable backup encryption, there is a checkbox you need to check to also store in your keychain. Cracking encrypted disk image, AKA DMG is feasible, but, and there are many buts, is extremely, extremely time consuming. If you do not remember at all the password, or if you attempt to crack in 'blind mode', you will probably need to teach your kids how to do it: By the time you'll have a fighting chance, you'll be long dead. The backup file was encrypted, but I forgot my encrypted iPhone backup password so I tried a few password sets commonly used by myself. However, none of them was correct. For my case, is it possible to restore my iPhone with that password-locked iTunes backup file? Thanks!” “I had the same problem. I forgot my iPhone backup password.

Any body have some kind of software I can type a few passwords into and it will combine them to crack the dmg file password?

Getting Started

Files can be moved to or from an encrypted disk image as easily as you can from a non-encrypted disk image. Please be aware of the following when using an encrypted disk image:

  • Backup programs will need to back up the entire image if any files within it have changed, since the image appears as a single file.
  • There is no way to change the password on an image file.
  • An encrypted disk image cannot be used as your home directory.

  1. After the encrypted disk image has been created, it will automatically mount for the first time and files can be copied to this location. The named volume disk image will display above the mounted source file.
  2. When you are finished using the encrypted disk image, you must unmount the image. Drag its icon to the trash or select the eject button next to its icon in any finder window. In the example below, the encrypted disk image is named “personal.'
  3. To mount the image again, simply double-click on the disk image you created. In the image below, the disk image is named personal.dmg. You will see it at the top of the list.
  4. Enter your password when prompted. Click OK. Your disk image should be mounted.
    Note: Always remember to unmount your disk image when you are finished with it.
