Hi, I have recently gone the length to do a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and this time around I decided to encrypt the installation with the option provided and also the home folder. Now when I boot it's asking me for a passphrase to unlock the hard disk but I never created one, the only 2 security measures I have created whilst installing (delete previous and install new) are a standard user account password and the encryption key. At first I thought it must mean the encryption key so I tried that several times to no avail.
After 3 or 4 attempts it drops me to a shell with a message saying about root folder missing I can't recall exactly because the machine in question is in my bedroom and this machine is downstairs in the house where I live.
Any help much appreciated. Thanks.
