If you could crack the encryption without brute force, it would be shit encryption.

Yeah, I remember encrypting the shit out of it also. It depended how long you moved your mouse around while doing it. But the program disappeared so I was hoping maybe it was shit encryption these days.

Jesus, not sure its that important. "Recovering TrueCrypt passwords is a thorny path that is covered in bitter disappointments and requires enormous amounts of time for searching.

If you do decide to attempt to recover a TrueCrypt password, then you will need to know something about the password structure."

Ironically it was info I didnt want to forget, heh.

The 'ol "Locked it away so well even I can't get it" problem.

Recovering any kind of password like this is a bitch. If you do decide to mess with it, a bytewise copy using dd or something to preserve it in case of fuckup might be a good idea.

Well when I was still using XP I knew it, but several years later without using it, shit! I only remember the last 9 digits.
