Hi, first, please do not post HTML-'emails' to this list. It cuts you off from most people here. Second, from the 'acting up' I would deduce that you have some kind of severe hardware problem. It may be that this prevents the unlock. Can you try this disk in a different computer? There is also the keyslot-checker in misc/keyslot_checker/ of the cryptsetup source distribution, that may tell you more.
