Steve,
I was able to install Ubuntu 17.04 within a VirtualBox 5.20.0

Ubuntu as well. Moreover, using the same boot into recovery mode, enter
the password in textual mode and effectuating a "resume boot" seems to

cannot enter encryption password in
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
