Change save file password?

Post by FredW »

I have a LUKS encrypted save file for which I would like to change the password. I have other save files, so it would not be a problem to access the save file externally from "another" Puppy, if that should be needed.

What version of Puppy?
How did you actually set the password?
Do you still know the password and does it work?
Specific details????

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected :o

I made a LUKS tool for that called LotsaLuks. Let me know if there are any problems with it. Read the pdf overview before installing so you will understand the tool and it's risks.

Oh, yes: I created the password the first time I saved the savefile going through the usual procedure -- location, size, etc.
