Hi
I forgot the passphrase of my laptop which was encrypted using dm-crypt (without LUKS). I use Debian so just used the default settings that were suggested. I understand that passwords cannot be recovered but please hear me out. In my case, I am sure that I am forgetting the last four digits I set because the rest of the password is clear in my memory. A couple of questions I could really use help with: 1. Is it possible to brute force the disk since even though my password is fairly long, I am sure about all of it except the last 4-6 digits. 2. If (1) is not possible, is there any way I can make it easy to type in passwords? Right now, initramfs does not show me the password I am typing. Is there anyway I can have feedback from it so that I know that I am at least typing in stuff correctly? Or even better, is there any way I load a text file with a list of the probable passwords? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you. John |
