Password needed - why?

I have made a TI image (from TI 10) of a new Windows install on my E partition on physical drive 2 (part. as D & E). That was yesterday and image was validated by TI 10.

Today when I went to explore the image I receive a window that says "The backup archive you have chosen is password protected..."

No is was not! I never select password protect and I always validate my images. Before proceding with the archiving process I check the options to make sure validation is done after completion and I make sure that it's not password protected.

Is the image trash or is there a way around this?

When this first arose and the password window opened I left the field blank and pressed OK but the window reappeared.

 

Did you try entering jsut a carraige return [enter] as the password?

 

Yes. I get the familiar waving flashlight and the password window reappears.

 

What about entering a single space?

Tried that too, no luck. Maybe I'll give up

 

Hi jimrx4

I see one of three possible reasons for this :

1- a password was entered for this image
2- the image is corrupted, and coincidentally causes this error condition
3- TI 10 is misrecognising the existence of a password.

You have ruled out 1, and I find 2 to be unlikely. However. what happens if you try to:

a) Validate the image
b) Mount the image

F.

 

Getting more complicated by the moment. When I try to mount the drive - I get the image is corrupt message! I know I validated the image (I believe that's a default option in TI 10). Then I tried to copy the image to another drive and I get the window "Cannot copy - Access denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write protected..."

I'm ready to give up.

 

Shame. Just getting interesting Sounds like something has a look on it. Is possible to do a reboot ?

Do you have the RPC server running on automatic in services.msc?

If this server is not set to automatic TI won't work properly.

Just for fun. Did you try your OS admin pw? I've had a similar experience, different software. Worked. If I misread this, disreguard.

 

I have got the same problem, in two different machines, a laptop and a PC, both of them running windows XP sp2 Spanish version. I think it's a bug. The problem doesn't appear in True Image Home version 9.X, only in version 10. Curiously, the problem only exists if I use a CD, DVD or a USB to store the image, if I use the hard disk, or I copy the file from the CD or USB to the hard disk, the program doesn't ask for a password. Still more, if I open the image directly from the Windows explorer, not from the program, the password window doesn't appear, never mind the file is in a CD, DVD, USB or hard disk. It is only if I uses the program's explorer option when I see the password window!!!

 

You may need to uninstall/reinstall TI ver 10.0.

 

ATI-10.0

I just started using the software and I am wondering what I have done wrong. I backup my system but when I try to Explore Backup Archive and I enter the password. The password is not accepted. What I am doing wrong?

 

I have the same problem with True Image 10. The "password needed" window keeps coming up while windows explorer is trying to search through files on a mounted drive. I have purchased three copies of this program and can't believe I am having this trouble. It is hard to believe that there is no reference to this problem in their knowledge base - and they are not even responding to this thread. What a disappointment!

 

Re: ATI-10.0

I am having athe same problem as jimrx4 above

 

If this problem solved? How?

 

Can the following program read the file?

I feel like I have made a bad investment. I still cannot operate the sofeware like it should be. So I have decided to delete Acronis True Image 10 from my computer.

 

DEpending on the laws of the country in which you line, you may be entitled to a full refund. Some companies have even more liberal return polies than required by law.

In the USA, therequirement is either 30, 60, or 90 days, as I recall.

 

I paid with a debit card. How can I get a refund?

 

When did you purchase?
Of what country are you a resident?

If the USA, go to the web site of the Federal Trade commission.
You will find a toll free number to ask for help.
I believe the number is 1-877-FTC-HELP (382-4357).
Also, you could search the FTC web site, but it's easier to call.

NEVER use a debit card unless absolutely necessary.
Credit card gives more leverage.

In any case, you have to document that you have asked Acronis for a refund.
If you have not yet done so, do it yesterday.
Acronis does have offices in the USA and is subject to USA laws for purchases made within the USA.

I also got the "password needed" popup in the middle of a Windows Search for some files that happened to be on the same external HD where a .tib backup was of the entire C: drive. I am not using a Secure Zone, just a drive image file inside a folder on the HD. The image was created outside of Windows from the Boot CD.

TI v10.0
Win XP all latest updates

 

Oh, and there was NOT a password set on any of the images.
