You can't break into the folder if you forget or don't know the password.

If you don't want the folder to have a password anymore, just save the folder outside of the dmg file.

I use the method mentioned all the time and it works well. It creates a dmg file from the folder pointed to in Disk Utility. You can pick 128 or 256 encryption.

Yeah I read that if I forget my password, I lose the whole folder. Totally fine with that but my question was more towards taking out the password if I decide to not have it anymore?

How do I save the folder outside of the dmg file?

Once you open up the dmg file, the folder becomes separate and you can save it anywhere you want, without having the password.
