OK, let's don't overlook anything that may be quite simple,

When you connect? Is this an external drive? If so, connect to same computer that did the compression.
Make sure you are logged-on as an Administrator
Try just clicking Next or Ok as may be the case (since you did not enter a password at time of compression).
Try 6 spaces.
Try your logon password (if you have one)

I'm out of ideas. I'd never compress a drive so have no experience with this particular problem.
Last to try, get a compressed-drive password-cracking program and see what it finds as the password, or
hope someone else here has the answer.
