Hello,

that is the part of live-initramfs asking for the password
the read command has the -s switch to not echo to the screen what is typed,

there are some problems now with live, may be the error is not for encryption, 
see the file live.log in the initramfs prompt
and look in previous posts.

tail -150 /live.log | more

Kind regards,

Jordi Pujol

And that is part of the code in live.initramfs/scripts/live-helpers:

                        if [ -z "${encryption}" ]
                        then
                                /sbin/losetup ${options} "${dev}" "${fspath}"
                                [ "${FSTAB}" = "Yes" ] && echo "# setup_loop ()
${fspath}       ${dev}  auto    noauto,${options}       0       0" >> 
"${FSTABFILE}"
                        else
                                # Loop AES encryption
                                while true
                                do
                                        load_keymap

                                        echo -n "Enter passphrase for 
${fspath}: " >&6
                                        read -s passphrase
                                        echo "${passphrase}" > /tmp/passphrase
                                        exec 9</tmp/passphrase
                                        /sbin/losetup ${options} -e 
"${encryption}" -p 9 "${dev}" "${fspath}"
                                        error=${?}
                                        exec 9<&-
                                        rm -f /tmp/passphrase

                                        if [ 0 -eq ${error} ]
                                        then
                                                [ "${FSTAB}" = "Yes" ] && echo 
"# setup_loop () encryption

"${FSTABFILE}"
                                                unset error
                                                break
                                        fi

                                        echo -n "Something went wrong... Retry? 
[YES/no] " >&6
                                        read answer

                                        if [ 'no' = "${answer}" ]
                                        then
                                                unset answer
                                                break
                                        fi
                                done
                        fi
