I'm running Ubuntu 13.10 with an encrypted, private home directory. I changed my password today via the Ubuntu control center. I either don't remember the password, or the password utility used a password other than the one I entered. I attempted to change my password a second time, but all methods I tried required that I know my current password. So I rebooted into recovery mode, re-mounted / in read-write mode, ran passwd, and all was well, or so I thought. Now it seems as though wrapped-passphrase is wrapped with whatever the new password is (whatever password was used on my first attempt to change it). Yes, I did save the encryption key, but that doesn't work with ecrpytfs-recover-private. Perhaps I wrote it down incorrectly. Yes, I should have verified it somehow. But I didn't. Also, there is no copy of the new password in /etc/shadow-. I don't care if it takes a long time, as I'm sure it will. What's the best method for cracking wrapped-passphrase? Thanks. -Tom -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ecryptfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
