Unfortunately, by the time I'd realized this, I’d already zeroed-out the drives on my old computer, so I couldn’t go back and see what the password was. I now have a 550GB sparsebundle sitting on the NAS that I cannot open, because I have no idea what the password is (it’s nothing I normally use - I imagine the ‘hint’ i cannot see would’ve helped).
