Re: home folder encryption
If the encryption completed successfully, and you did not write down the passphrase, or otherwise remember what you entered -- you're HOSED!
Don't bother asking if there's any way to "crack" the password because there isn't. And, it is not stored anywhere such that you can find it.
Basically, if you don't know what you're doing, you should not be messing around with encryption.
Don't use this myself, so my guess would be that you would have to reinstall to get access back. And this time, reconsider your need for an encrypted /home folder.
