I was in the process of decrypting an external USB HD when my house lost power. Now that power is restored.... I went to resume the decryption process with no success. This is what I have done so far.......any and all help would be greatly appreciated:

-
pgpwde --status --disk 1

The passphrase is correct...because when I intentially mistype it....it tells me wrong passphrase. I've searched other answers about the disk locked error...but it refers to a universal server and using WDRT. I'm a standalone client not managed by a server....so that solution didn't apply. Didn't find anything on the bad parameters error code so far.
