The question is vague, can you be more specific? Is this drive
encrypted and you're talking about the encryption passphrase? Or
you're talking about the login passphrase? If the former, there is no
way to break that encryption. If the latter, then just mount it
normally and copy off what you want to keep - you don't even need to
do this with live media, any Fedora installation can do this and
bypass the user login. You might have to use sudo cp to copy the
contents of files for which your new user doesn't have permissions
for; and then fix that with:

sudo chown -R chris:chris /path/to/files/

where chris is whatever the login+owner name is on your current system.
