I just spent 5 weeks in the hospital. Came back and found that cryptsetup luksOpen on my offline machine doesn't recognize the password I've been using for the past 5 years...

WTF...???

Help, please!!

Passwords do not get "dropped". Were there updates? Is the locale still the same? Also refer to FAQ item 1.2, last Paragraph. Unless the LUKS header was damaged, a changed character encoding is the most likely reason for this behavior.
