Unlocking Hard Drive on macOS Mojave & other OSXĪfter a macOS Mojave 10.14 upgrade some hard drive may show unexpected behaviour, particularly hard drives get locked for no good reasons even without the encryption. The hard drive will no longer be password protected after decryption, but all the hard drive data will go lost. Remember if you have forgotten your password then you will have to use Terminal commands to destroy the encryption. Watch the below video to see how this data recovery applications work on encrypted disk drives. And of course, you should never lose this password from your memory since if you forget the password then the encrypted hard drive and its data will become inaccessible forever.Ī few data recovery software (like Stellar Data Recovery Professional for Mac) supports the recovery of deleted files from an encrypted hard drive on Mac. The password should be such that even the closest of the person around you could not guess it. The password taken for the external hard drive encryption should be strong and consists of alphanumeric characters.
Once the external hard drive is password protected, you can connect the drive to Mac and access it every time with the password you have chosen to unlock it. MacOS provides you with a mechanism that puts a secure password on the external hard drive to limits its access from multiple users.
