It was on the most recent version of iOS at the time of the last major backup prior to the loss (Late June, 2022). So macOS Version 12: "Monterey" and iOS version 13. (So it's a backup of an iPhone, accessed via finder)
I had a look but... I didn't see anything covering this.
Just to be clear: it's a situation where hashcat goes "yup, here's the password" but typing that into finder to restore gives an error.
I'm hoping maybe there are command line tools to recreate the gui functionality that might give additional explanation why it... feels... the key is wrong.
(I hate to sound so odd, but... I feel like I'm a teenager struggling with the CLI for the first time in a very long time. I've never had something this unusual happen, and I'm struggling to understand how a tool like hashcat can say yup that's the password... then have it not be accepted.)
I'd really prefer not to post a screenshot with the key but I guess I could if that's what it takes... this is years of photos, all lost, if this key is not accepted.
To be clear, I have a dicionary file with 4 possible keys to reduce chances I was fat fingering, and it explicitly said one worked
>Session..........: hashcat
>Status...........: Cracked
