I just updated to 10.9.2 and now it continually asks me for the password of my encrypted time machine backup. I know for certain that I am using the correct password, but it no longer works. It just won't accept the password and the drive won't mount.

Can anyone help? I need this for work!!!:mad: Any help is appreciated.

I've been having this problem for ages! (Not sure if this was before or after the Mavericks upgrade.) But when I hit ignore the password notification, it opens Time Machine anyway, even though the drive is encrypted.
