Booting into Kali (forensics mode) and unlocking the ssd failed. I typed out the passphrase to a text document, confirmed it was correct, and pasted it into the prompt.
"incorrect passphrase" This implies to me that the header was altered in some way. 2 days ago, my battery has completely died...and my laptop is now for all intents and purposes a desktop. Would that kind of power issue affect the ssd in such a way as to alter the header? I regret not having a backup or hash of the header....not so much to recover data, but at this point, to see if it has been altered...or if the passphrase itself was changed somehow...but I'd rather not go down that rabbit-hole of paranoia. There is always the slim chance I am continuing to miss-type something....after all.
