Edit: Turns out you guys were right, I entered the setup password wrong for LUKs. I got this new Logitech keyboard I got for a gift and I type around 170wpm, but I’ve been having issues with it kind of lagging keys for some reason. What I did was I opened up a notepad and typed in my password a bunch of times and noticed whenever I would type something such as “stain” for example, it would come out at “stani” despite me looking at the keyboard and knowing that wasn’t what I was typing. So I encrypted my drive with the wrong password, but figured out how to decrypt it that way. Thanks for the help doods!

Hello! I have a external drive I’ve encrypted with LUKs that has irreplaceable backups of mine, and for some reason no matter which PC I try it won’t unlock despite it being the correct password. It doesn’t give me anything else in the terminal other than what I put in the title.

I recently just backed up everything onto the external drive from my computer cause I was distro hopping. It’s worked fine on my PC, I saved the password so I was able to mount it no problem before, but now it won’t mount on any other PC I try. It isn’t the end of the world since I can just try and copy old data from my computers drive before the format since I haven’t downloaded anything yet that could overwrite anything important, but I’d still like to be able to get this external drive unlocked. As I’ve said, irreplaceable files of mine are on it so I’m hoping to get it working. Thank you!
