Changing the Password for an Encrypted Volume
A password must be set up when you create an encrypted volume. After the

CAUTION:
Because the password is required
to de-crypt a locked volume, keep a backup of
the password to ensure that it is accessible
when required. There is no way to unlock the
volume without the password. (If the password
is forgotten, the only way to unlock the volume
is if there is a known password saved in a
configuration file. See Restoring the
Configuration for help on this.)
