    Hi,

    Not possible if you have already send HDD for repairing.

    Or you can create recovry disck and decrypt manually.

    No,

    PGP software is made with strong cryptography that no one, not us, not even major governments can break. The plus side of this is that you can always rest assured that your information is safe from prying. The minus side is that if you forget your password then you cannot pry into it yourself. As PGP products use a passphrase which is associated with the keypair that is used for encrypting and decrypting, it is extremely important that this passphrase is protected. Password stealing trojans that can monitor keystrokes exist, which make it necessary to protect the physical access to your computer. Use firewalls to protect your network from invasion, and use up-to-date anti-virus software to protect your passphrase from being stolen.
