Check password of encrypted Time Machine backup

Question

I have a Time Machine backup for my Macbook Pro that points to a Synology NAS drive on my network. The backup is encrypted, and I am pretty sure I know my password, but it's been so long since I set up the backup that I am starting to have doubts whether or not I know the correct password. Is there a way to test if I have the right access? I would rather not delete the backup and start a new one.

Answer 1

I figured out a way. You can unmount the Time Machine backup, and remount it. It will ask for your password again. Just know that if the password is incorrect, you won't be able to access any of those files.
