Hi, I almost had a heart attack. I had the same issue and could not access any of my files.
I found this user who had the same issue.
Settings - Utilities
- System config = Save config file
- System only = Restore
If the system asks to generate a new encryption, tell it to save that for later.
- System config = Import file
Now, if you have encrypted hard drives, you must go to the drive section and click “mount.” insert the encrypting password, and you can go.
