I encrypted my HDD with Veracrypt while the Sata configuration was in AHCI. About a month ago, I lost my MB. So, I bought a new one and forgot to change the Sata configuration from IDE to AHCI. Today I made the change in BIOS, and everything worked. But now in AHCI, I cannot access my HDD using the password. Tried several times, and not working. The message I get, is about wrong password, PIM, etc.

So, I changed again in BIOS from AHCI to IDE, and the password worked again.

How can I fix it?

Is there no way to open my encrypted drive in AHCI Mode? It isn´t OS drive. Just Documents and Backups.
