Hello all,
So I recently dived into the world of Linux and I started with Kali. I generally am going with online tutorials and overall, don't know fully what I'm doing yet. BUT the main reason I picked up linux is because it falls into my job (or will in the future). For now though I'm just picking random tasks to do and seeing if I can complete them. I'm been successful is the small stuff but there is one task I just can't figure out.
I'm booting Kali from a USB and it is live. I'm booting it on a dell XPS 12 that hasn't been functional since about 2016-2017. It continuously flashes and won't even go to the login text box. However there are some files and stuff on this laptop that I want but because the hard drive is encrypted and no matter what passphrase I use to try to mount it/get into it, i keep getting denied because the passphrase is wrong. I've been trying for about 2 days now but I just can't get into this thing. I'm basically asking if anyone thinks they know of a way to crack into this hard drive. Any help would be awesome.
