Can't decrypt LUKS partition

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I'm suddenly unable to decrypt my Linux Mint partition, SSD. I get this error message:

"Enter passphrase for /dev/nvme0n1p3:
No key available with this passphrase."

It was encrypted at install (entire drive).
I'm using only this drive, and only Linux Mint, nothing else. I didn't do any updates, I didn't even install anything before it stopped working (worked for about half a year).
I don't have any backup.
What I did do is clean my keyboard. I use German layout, and there's _underscores_ in my password. But I tested everything I could think of
I tested all my keys a lot of times, it's always correct, wrote my password the way I always did, I wrote it assuming US layout, wrote it using a different keyboard, tried decrypting using Linux Mint live CD, Fedora live CD, tried all the German keyboard layouts, some English ones.

cryptsetup luksDump /dev/nvme0n1p3:
https://pastebin.com/9arD2wVs
I don't know much about that, does it look fine?
I also searched the hexdump for words and used the Key-Slot Checker, seems fine.
Should I just continue testing all existing layouts? Or does something look strange/does someone have an idea what to try?

Regards,
Robert
