I tried the following
sudo cryptsetup luksChangekey /dev/nvme0n1p3 < new passphrase >
It then asks for the Sudo password, then asks for the old passphrase, but then it prints this error message
Failed to open key file.
what went wrong ?
Edit: turns out using GNOME Disks is way more straightforward… 😅, thank you all
You must log in or # to comment.
Refer to the
cryptsetup-luksChangeKeyman page--key-fileoptions, you cannot change the password directly on a commandline; you either (a) type it interactively, (b) put it in a keyfile, or © accept input from STDIN with the standard use of-on the end (e.g.echo "mypass" | cryptsetup luksChangeKey /dev/sda -)Have you tried using GNOME Disk Utility?
I have it installed, but I don’t see the option 🤷♂️
Try clicking on the encrypted partition to get the passphrase option.
