How to reuse an encrypted old HDD with forgotten pass?
I'd like to repurpose an HDD so I have space to download all the tv shows I want to aquire as a cable cutter.
Do I just plug it in and it will Advise me of how to deal with it?
Need those TB for all the junk I wanna torrent
Are you intending to save the old data?
If not than it should be as simple as deleting the old partition
So it can be overwritten even if its encrypted?
Yep, in my experience hard drives will let you erase an encrypted partition exactly the same as an unencrypted one
The part that gets tricky is trying resize an encrypted partition because the contents need to be read
Yes.
