Root TWRP problems

[CaucasionJ]

I've used Clockwork since my Droid X days and this is the first time I've seen TWRP. It looks fancy and sleek but its causing me some problems. I "made" a backup of my stock 4.4.2 and later on wanted to back up my AOKP 4.4.2 ROM. My TWRP asked me for a password, which I've never recalled setting up a password and it won't back up my AOKP, also my Stock backup disappeared as well.

Any thoughts or problems like this?

Never heard of a custom recovery asking for a password...

Can you tell us the version number of TWRP you are using?

hmmmmmm...I use TWRP all the time and it never asks me that?

I am using version 2.6.3.4

I've seen it once before, a re-download and re-install fixed it.

I'd start with that

Only time I've seen TWRP asking for a password is when you flash it straight after unlocking the bootloader. A full boot cycle is needed first.

This sounds a different scenario. As suggested, I'd reflash TWRP first

It's fine now... I think the re-install helped. My Stock 4.4.2 back up was there but not the AOKP, oh well. It was strange.
