Encryption bad password problem with Dell inspiron 7566
I have set up Ubuntu 18.04 and encrypted the disk, after an apt-get upgrade that also upgraded the kernel ,i have encountered a problem where i input the correct encryption password and the decryption is not working, i used an older kernel so far for the decryption. I accidentally did recently another apt get upgrade and the same problem occurs again also with the old kernel i was using.
I know the encryption password but it is not working, is there something possible i can do?
Updated:
I created a live usb and got into the disk, the encryption password is working, i managed to copy some files, is there something i can do to fix the problem since i can access the disk ?
