Did you make a backup of your files before doing that? Why would you just press enter for an empty passphrase if you are wanting FDE? If the old password doesn't work and pressing enter doesn't work you are out of luck and there is no way of unlocking your encrypted partition with the the passphrase of the key that was used the encrypt it.

I thought it gonna work for me temporally or maybe it will remove encryption, but instead i lost all my data, maybe somebody knows what to do

Always make a backup of your data if you are going to do something that may potentially break your system, even when not it's always a good idea to make backups. There's not really anything you can do, unless you come across an encryption export that may know of a way how to restore the old keys from your current system.
