Problem: Passphrase Rejected

Symptom: "Error unlocking LUKS device: Passphrase incorrect".

Resolution:

  1. Check Caps Lock and keyboard layout (default layout is US QWERTY).
  2. If using non-ASCII characters, ensure the console keymap matches your desktop layout.
  3. Test passphrase entry in a visible text field to confirm typing accuracy.
