Ok I have a massive problem (Version 10.2).PGP WDE not recognizing my passphrase anymore and iam really stuck what to do. All the drama begins with Windows 7 that not started as usual and runned its recovery mode that didnt found any drives or running windows systems. I just clicked on try to repair disk and all is destroyed now. Since this action PGP WDE cant recognize my passphrase anymore.
BUT I can start my old windows system on my second drive with same passphrase and bootloader attached to my pc.
This second drive is encrypted with PGP WDE on my first drive (Windows 7) that not recognizing my passphrase anymore and not acessable anymore.
For one boot period it was able to mount the first harddisk with windows and never ever again. (No it ask for passphrase and returns its not matching)
I didnt set any "forgot passphrase" questions on both drives. Rescue disk not working and all command line options fails with different error messages:
a) Error code -12220 disk allready managed
b) Error code -11984 object not found (when i use --phassprase "mypassword")
When i enter PGP WDE it shows me some key with correct user that i used for encryption. But it only shows ONE KEY symbol that means no keypair so maybe private key is missing. I cant change my passphrase on this key. Looks like just a public key.
At all there is a running bootloader with same passphrase on my second drive that i encrypted with the first drive when all worked probably.
Question is how can i force PGP WDE to decrypt my first drive with the same settings used by the working device? There must be a solution or way to extract the key or copy the running bootloader to the broken pgp volume (MBR etc) and force the tool to encrypt it.
best regards and thanks for you help
