-If you lose your `gocryptfs.conf` but have saved your masterkey, you can create a new `gocryptfs.conf` like this:
-
-* Use `gocryptfs -init` to create a new config file (password does not matter)
-* Then use `gocryptfs -passwd -masterkey` to override the masterkey and set a new password
-
-### Complete example
-
-You create your filesystem and store data in it:
-
-```
-$ gocryptfs -init a
-Choose a password for protecting your files.
-Password: 
-Repeat: 
-
-Your master key is:
-
-    66a765c3-2868b607-ed6b8369-a1263c29-
-    1eac1192-26b5ea50-e48e73e5-76af82df
-
-If the gocryptfs.conf file becomes corrupted or you ever forget your password,
-there is only one hope for recovery: The master key. Print it to a piece of
-paper and store it in a drawer. This message is only printed once.
-The gocryptfs filesystem has been created successfully.
-You can now mount it using: gocryptfs a MOUNTPOINT
-
-$ gocryptfs a b
-Password: 
-Decrypting master key
-Filesystem mounted and ready.
-
-$ echo "hello world" > b/hello.txt
-
-$ fusermount -u b
-```
-
-Disaster strikes: Your gocryptfs.conf is lost:
-```
-$ rm a/gocryptfs.conf 
-rm: remove write-protected regular file 'a/gocryptfs.conf'? y
-```
-
-Restore gocryptfs.conf using the masterkey:
-```
-$ mkdir tmp
-
-$ gocryptfs -init tmp
-[...]
-
-$ mv tmp/gocryptfs.conf a
-
-$ gocryptfs -passwd -masterkey 66a765c3-2868b607-ed6b8369-a1263c29-1eac1192-26b5ea50-e48e73e5-76af82df a
-Using explicit master key.
-THE MASTER KEY IS VISIBLE VIA "ps ax" AND MAY BE STORED IN YOUR SHELL HISTORY!
-ONLY USE THIS MODE FOR EMERGENCIES
-Please enter your new password.
-Password: 
-Repeat: 
-A copy of the old config file has been created at "/tmp/tmp.lopzg3o5Yo/a/gocryptfs.conf.bak".
-Delete it after you have verified that you can access your files with the new password.
-Password changed.
-
-$ gocryptfs a b
-Password: 
-Decrypting master key
-Filesystem mounted and ready.
-
-$ cat b/hello.txt 
-hello world
