Add SDA5 Crypt Back To Boot

[Eddie Paul Litz]

I reinstalled Ubuntu w/out the Crypt Password, now how do I add it back to the boot sequence?

Hello Eddie Paul, what is the reference to SDA5 mean? Is that /dev/sda5 and if so, what is on it?

A Google on

linux sda5 crypt password

reveals articles such as

and

When are you going to put on Timeshift? If you did, and kept it up-to-date, you could restore to where you were.

Cheers
