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. -- Chris Murphy -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
