Hi, would you know where I can find my password hint for my Time Machine? Setting up a new MacBook Pro 2021 that runs macOS Monterey. The old MacBook Pro is in a different country and thought of using the Time Machine that has a pretty recent backup for set up.
Time Machine has been running for years, never had to access it and cannot find the password. Hint for it could work but cannot find that no matter how I search.
Thanks.

Hi,
Sorry to say that if you forget TimeMachine password, you can't restore or recover your data.

Thank you. In this case it is not that devastating as I am also using cloud for backup, but I read somewhere that there is a way to get the hint for the password and would have liked to try that. I guess there is none and I will need to reset the Time Machine somehow.
