Hello,
I was using (well currently am) Linux Mint 20.1 mate on my 2nd PC.
i shutdown it at night & the next day when i tried to login it wont.
i would enter my pass & it would bring me back to login screen.
later i knew its is known as Login Loops.
Now i followed some instructions, but the problem i am facing is as below.
-First:
I can fresh install my OS, and start again but the problem is, my Home Folder in encrypted using the built in encryption while installing the OS.
-Second:
I dont have the Decryption Passphrase (the 32 lenth key) | Thank you LInux Mint they dont promote to save it after installation & my dumbness.
-Third:
I might have change my passwords from the time i installed OS.
Now, I made a new user, but still cant decrypt the Home Folder.
& i am stuck, cause of my home folder contains my data.
Any help is deeply appreciated,
-goal is to fix the login loop (if that is fixed everything will work again)
-2nd, if login loop cant be fixed, i need to get my data out somehow.
Thank you
