Hi VeraCrypt Team,

I have an original TrueCrypt file container.
I tried to change its password and migrate it to HMAC-SHA512 using VeraCrypt 1.25.9.
Accidentally I checked the "Use PIM" option while leaving the PIM field empty, then confirmed the operation.
The software showed the password change succeeded.
After that, I can no longer mount this volume.
Mount attempts give error MountVolume:9170.
Trying to restore the embedded backup header gives error RestoreVolumeHeader:11148.

I have tried:

• Mount with old TrueCrypt password + TrueCrypt mode + RIPEMD-160

• Mount with new password + SHA512 + PIM 485

• Command line mount with /m headerbak to load embedded backup header

All attempts failed.
Could you please advise whether there is any way to recover or mount this volume?

Thanks.
