help with password

[Ben Davies]

Hello,

I have created a learnstick usb from the downloaded .iso file using the app 'MX LIve USB Maker' on MXLinux 23.5. When I boot the lernstick usb I get the initial screen where I can select language. I select english, then click start Lernstick. I am then presented with a password screen to decrypt the disk. Could you let me know what password I should use to decrypt the disk please?

This is the screen when I boot up the usb:

When I turn on debugging in the lernstick start screen options I get this:

/dev/nvme0n1p3 is the partition on my hard drive containing the linux OS. Why is lernstick asking me to unlock this?

Hello,

the plymouth boot screen asks for a password if an encrypted partition is found, because Lernstick also allows to encrypt the user partition on the USB-Stick (when copying it for the first time from the built-in app "storage media management").
This also happens with my local Linux installation, so I simply hit ENTER and then I press Retry? NO and Lernstick is starting up as usual.

Hope this helps,

Jörg
