Not sure if this should go in here or software as it's a finder issue, so mods feel free to move if it's necessary.

I have an encrypted disc image that I set up a while ago. Each time in the past when I've mounted it, it asks for the password, which is as it should be. Today though, it just mounted automatically without a password. I can't find anything in Keychain access that is related to it, so I'm confused as to why this is happening. In the info for the image there's no way to see or modify the password and I couldn't find a way of doing this with disk utility either.

Can anyone help, the only alternative I could come up with is to just create a new image and copy the files over.

Cheers,

J.

I guess it got added to your keychain somehow. It would just be easier to create a new image.
