[Bug 1382831] Re: cryptsetup : failed bad passphrase or options

[Lars Noodén]

I'm able to unlock it manually but not using the installed system's own
tools.  I have to use a Live image.  But both the 14.04 and 14.10 Live
images work for that.  Is there some boot parameter I could use to try
the installed system's own tools manually?  The virtual consoles are not
available until after the disk is decrypted.

Title:
  cryptsetup : failed bad passphrase or options

Status in “cryptsetup” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The 2014-10-17.1 Alternate image for PPC runs through the installation and appears to allow creation of an encrypted LVM.  However, when the installed system boots, it cannot get past unlocking the disk.  The error is "cryptsetup:
  failed, bad password or options?"  What should have happened is that the password is accepted and the disk is unencrypted.
